Charlie Brooker takes a look at some old sci-fi shows from many years ago. This clip features Sapphire & Steel, Quatermass and The Day Of The Triffids. It was taken from Series 1 Episode 3.

"There's not enough silly around these days" to which Moffat heard this call and went completely overboard.

Aaahhh! Triffids! I used to live near an allotment when i was a kid and there used to be tons of high plants that scared the shit out of me

[@otocan]

Day of the Triffids is an amazing book, I suggest you check it out. Also by the same author: The Midwich Cuckoos

@DestroyedWotan2 Yeah, I noticed that, for some reason xthemusic had a habit of randomly cutting bits out which didn't seem to be copyright infringing. It's a shame his account has disappeared though

[@DainBramageStudios]

day of the triffids is unfortuanately being remade

[@angelusmortis1412]

lol, me too...had me holding a cushion infront of my eyes:P

[@jonboyjon1976]

It's interesting he showed Quatermass 4 which arguable was the weakest of them all. It was be nice to see the BBC (not Hammer) versions of Quatermass 2 or Quatermass and the Pit being shown.

@DestroyedWotan2 Ah right, well hopefully he'll be back in the future :)

[@whowantsabighug]

@DainBramageStudios And was actually brilliant.

[@vaughanography]

What is?

@DainBramageStudios This was a bit prophetic, the remake was fucking crap.

[@gan9e]

Sapphire & Steel... rubbish... "Brick & Spunk" now they kicked some serious arse, "Kittens & Cheese" on the other hand (the spin off series) didn't do well in the UK, unlike "Biscuits & Teeth" the American version... oh no that was Quantum Leap wasn't it :)
