Squirtchy Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 My mum was a big fan of the tripods, she is also in good contact with many of the cast, including the main members, i've met them all once at a pub meet! Just wondered if anyone had watched the show/heard of it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buffy2k Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 Have to say i cant remember the cast but it used to be on Saturday in the mids 80s (85ish i would say) as i was quite young then. My sister who is 2 years younger used to be scared of them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charmer Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 Yep, I used to watch it when I was young. I don't remember too much about it or the cast but I remember it scared me quite a bit at the time. I'm sure now it'd look very cheesy on a re-watch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 I did see some of an episode when I was about five. I thought it was really weird and kinda of creepy (didn't take much to scare me back then though). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr fagan Posted March 11, 2013 Share Posted March 11, 2013 yes i have heard of it and i remember the trailers for it it was supposed to be a replacement for Dr Who when it was cancelled in 1985. But the eternal wisdom of the BBC made sure that to save money they stopped making Dr Who start a new series of something else then stop halfway. Yes safe to say the BBC found a way of capping their spending. So they then decided to make other worthwhile programmes instead like EastEnders........

GoldenGreen Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 I remember it. I've not see it since originally watching it, but have fond memories of it, so probably best not to watch again ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zagreus Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 I'd definitely meet the stars from The Tripods if they came to a signing. I've actually been meaning to suggest it for ages. The DVD of the complete series is available, and is well worth a watch. I remembered it from childhood, and watching it with adult eyes, it's still very chilling. The tripods themselves are a very scary sight when the do make a rare appearance. Robin Hayter who played Fritz was meant to attend a certain signing show a few years back but ended up cancelling, so he'd at least be up for it .
