I can understand that! The atmosphere was very strong! When I saw the show, I was 7 years old, and I lived in a small village like Will and Henry, and sometimes, when I was in the open land, I looked behind me because I thought, a TRIPOD would appear, activating his "running light", like in the end of this clip here!
Diese Serie war damals einfach nur genial. Ich wurde ängstlich und hatte sogar darüber nachgedacht und denke heute noch darüber nach. Wird es wirklich mal so oder so ähnlich kommen, was passiert mit uns Menschen später, wenn wir so weiter machen wie bisher usw. ??
Ging mir genauso damals. Ich fand die Musik klasse. Trotzdem habe ich mich am Anfang von den 3 Beiner gefürchtet. Die Serie war Trotzdem klasse und heute ein Klassiker, aber auch eine Legende.
Sooo schade, das ich heutzutage keine Angst mehr vor dem Vorspann und dieser erstklassigen Melodie mehr habe.... Damals in den 80'ern hab ich gezittert wie Espenlaub. :)
wenn ich den trailer sehe, kommen bei mir auch etliche erinnerungen wieder hoch! das war einfach pflicht auf zdf! allein die titelmelodie is` schon der hammer! kann mich meinen vorrednern nur anschließen: schade, dass die serie seitdem nie wieder in deutschland zu sehen war! :o(
I was very young when i saw this great Series in German TV. But it was a great ride and i watch the two DVD-Boxes often. Ken Freeman should bring more unreleased Soundtracks from The Tripods.
Fantastic series it was shown in German tv in the afternoon, it is a very dark series and i think it's why i like it so much. I still remember when they get to Paris and you see the city in ruins the future is anything but nice in this series. i have read the Tripods series and i hope that someday they will make the final book aswell for us to see. A true masterpiece i will never forget :)
Emule sei Dank habe ich alle Folgen mittlerweile auf Platte. Ich kann nicht verstehen, warum so eine geile Serie nicht mehr im Fernsehen gezeigt wird. Wobei, könnte daran liegen, daß die Serie nie zu ende gedreht worden ist und von daher ein merkwürdiges Ende hat.
I remember one scene from the show, i had to be 7 years old. One guy threw a granade into one of those things, it fell down and small ones came out of it. I thought WTF even when you kill it. you are still doomed...
WoW! Thanks! Now i feel young aganin. In Germany they only played two times on TV! And now no channel wants to play it again and i can´t understand it.
I remember this show. I never found out how they ended it though... last thing I saw they were heading to Mont Blanc and had discovered a cache of weapons in a French subway station
I think that's the only season ever released on DVD, the second season exists in various forms but I've never heard of an official release of it. It's my belief that the BBC has a lot of explaining to do over its treatment of science fiction over the years.
I was also a child when I accidentally saw it on TV -- and I was not able to get rid of the fear for years. I wasn't sure as I walked to elementary school because I feared so much that such an ufo could come and do me harm. It's not suitable stuff for children at all. However I knew of some in elementary school that saw it and weren't in fear at all. Maybe i was more sensitive, or over-sensitive. There were some other series in the 80s that had the same traumatizing effect.
Correction - there were two series, three books. A third series was always going to have been hard, as a key actress had died in a car accident prior to series 2, forcing changes. Doctor Who had been doomed by JNT and writers like Pip and Jane Baker, though the chairman certainly assisted. SciFi fans were also guilty of not being vocal enough. If even 10% had staged a protest, they could have rivalled CND at the time. The chairman was arrogant but not politically suicidal.
My understanding is that the BBC at the time hated and despised science fiction with a passion and that they looked for any and every excuse to eliminate it with extreme prejudice. You will be aware that the BBC performed two, not one, junking of old tapes and that telefantasy was disproportionately represented on both occasions. You will also be aware that The Omega Factor was never repeated or released on video - it only got put on DVD relatively recently and was badly restored.
SHADOWWOLF77: That and the fact that the third series had a reportedly high production cost for the time, plus an apparent anti-sci-fi campaign against the BBC at the time conspired to prevent the third series from entering production. Honestly they should've just seen it through, because the show had pretty good ratings and a big audience at the time (arguably bigger now), so had they just continued with the third series, that was they get it out of the way to focus on the more profitable shows at the time, we as the dedicated fan base wouldn't be complaining to this day.
Nacoool... beim durchsehen alter gezeichneter Kinderbilder von mir, bin ich auf irgendeinen 3beinigen Roboter gestoßen, ein bissel gegoogelt und schon hatte ichs tripods... dank youtube gibts nun nen trip in die vergangenheit :-) krass krass 20 jahre her
Hallo Zusammen, ab im nächsten Jahr soll es eine DvD Box der Serie endlich in deutsch raus kommen. Schaut einfach mal auf der Homepage die bei den Infos steht rein. Da gibts die aktuellen Infos zu!
Hallo ja, für mehr Infos schaut doch mal auf die Seite diedreibeinigenherrscher Es gibt auch von Teil 1-3 Hörbücher.Super gemacht und kann ich für Fans nur empfehlen!!
Wir schreiben das Jahr 1986 in einem Land das auch damals schon Deutschland hieß... Vater zur Mutter: "Wir könnten ein neues Auto brauchen." klein Patrick.: "Ich hätte aber lieber so nen Dreibeiner!"
Yes, that fateful comment in the final episode "Has it all been for nothing?". Answer: YES! Because the BBC didn't film the final book of the trilogy. After all the money they spent on the first two series, surely it would have made more sense to finish the story properly with a third and final series. I bet Michael Grade had a hand in it, he axed Dr Who a few years after.
Die Serie war recht teuer und nach einem Wechsel im Managment bei der BBC wurde das Feilbeil gesenkt. Frak it! Und an einen Kinofilm bin ich jetzt nicht so interessiert. Eine Serie, ähnlich wie Battlestar Galactica, wäre aber klasse.
The movie versions of War of the Worlds were looked at by the BBC, but they'd cheated and used flying machines, not walking vehicles. The BBC, proud and insane as usual, decided that whatever Hollywood could do, they could do better. They did, too.
The books had some nice touches missing from the series, but the series had some superb touches that were missing from the books, plus technology updates the books could never have included. Any attempt to revive should blend the two to get the most power out of the story. The movie had better be good, but after the debacles known as The Saint, The Avengers and Fox's tv-movie of Doctor Who, I don't expect it to be. Narnia's CGI was terrible and showed horribly limited minds on computer graphics.
thats because disney took the rights and blame the anti-scifi from a certain director who is chairing ITV his stupidity has ciost us big time we could have got a sci-fi that was similar to LOST or Heros
wtf ? tripods is a boy adventure, did you know that they will make the whole story in the usa ? its an european story between france,uk and Germany !!!!!
no no no no no , LOL let me explain First the series, the Tripods (SEE ABOVE) was a BBC production,when at the time there was this chairman who hated SCi-fi. he TRY TO DESTRYED dR wHO AND stoped THE tRIPODS making any mores series thats why there only 3 seasons. THis guy has now moved to ITV But I did mention this in my orginal post.
yes do a google search , they have indeed made beanpole a women , they just have to ruin everything they remake , sack all these writers and take fan submissions lol

ich bin immer wieder erstaunt, was ich hier so alles finde! Geil! Die Serie habe ich das letzte Mal vor 20 Jahren gesehen! Geil! Danke!
I was 9 when this came out, and it scared the hell out of me, expecily the theme tune, as well as the theme tune for Chocky
Diese Serie war damals einfach nur genial. Ich wurde ängstlich und hatte sogar darüber nachgedacht und denke heute noch darüber nach. Wird es wirklich mal so oder so ähnlich kommen, was passiert mit uns Menschen später, wenn wir so weiter machen wie bisher usw. ??
Mann, was hatte ich Alpträume damals ;-) Aber trotzdem immer supergern gesehen!
Ging mir genauso damals.
Ich fand die Musik klasse.
Trotzdem habe ich mich am Anfang von den 3 Beiner gefürchtet.
Die Serie war Trotzdem klasse und heute ein Klassiker, aber auch eine Legende.
I loved this show as a kid. Great imagery of the tripods in the distance. Miss it.
Sooo schade, das ich heutzutage keine Angst mehr vor dem Vorspann und dieser erstklassigen Melodie mehr habe.... Damals in den 80'ern hab ich gezittert wie Espenlaub. :)
Trotzdem krieg ich bei der Melody noch ne leichte Gänsehaut...zu schade, das nicht alles verfilmt wurde. Hab aber zwischenzeitlich das Ende gelesen!
wenn ich den trailer sehe, kommen bei mir auch etliche erinnerungen wieder hoch! das war einfach pflicht auf zdf! allein die titelmelodie is` schon der hammer! kann mich meinen vorrednern nur anschließen: schade, dass die serie seitdem nie wieder in deutschland zu sehen war! :o(

i have read the Tripods series and i hope that someday they will make the final book aswell
for us to see. A true masterpiece i will never forget :)
Disney hat die Rechte und ein Remake ist wohl geplant.
Legendary. I remember this from the 80s.
If the BBC had been given this as a presentation after season 2, we might have seen the final season. Most excellent.
Ich war damals 13 und fand das sehr spannend. Die Filme könnte man fürs Kino neu verfilmen.
Pure nostalgia from sci-fi 80´s!
I have the first season on DVD!
It sure has some magic in it!
Emule sei Dank habe ich alle Folgen mittlerweile auf Platte. Ich kann nicht verstehen, warum so eine geile Serie nicht mehr im Fernsehen gezeigt wird. Wobei, könnte daran liegen, daß die Serie nie zu ende gedreht worden ist und von daher ein merkwürdiges Ende hat.
Kanns Du mir die Serie irgendwie zugänglich machen?
I remember one scene from the show, i had to be 7 years old. One guy threw a granade into one of those things, it fell down and small ones came out of it. I thought WTF even when you kill it. you are still doomed...
WoW! Thanks! Now i feel young aganin.
In Germany they only played two times on TV!
And now no channel wants to play it again and i can´t understand it.
Es wird wohl ein Remake geben; Disney hat die Rechte daran.
It was the books that this series was based on that turned me into a science fiction fan about 35 years ago. I would like to see this series.
das war die absolut geilste serie meiner kindheit
Excellent work, the SFX were pretty good for their time. Quite faithful to the books, too. (Sehr gut! Weilen danke!)
Finally I found this show again, I remembered the scenes at 1:53 and 2:06 from when it aired in the 80's.
kaufe ich sofort,wenn die serie auf deutsch rauskommt...warte seit über 20 jahren darauf......
Oh, hello eighties childhood nightmares!
so much of my childhood trauma cam be traced to this show. The the rest goes to Return to Oz.
I remember this show. I never found out how they ended it though... last thing I saw they were heading to Mont Blanc and had discovered a cache of weapons in a French subway station
Hey man
Brilliant piece of music!
@TK42138
... and one of the best! Worth every penny. And what a shame, they did'nt finish it!
Can anyone name the actor that is taken to the ship at the beginning of the clip?
2022
All praise to the tripods!!

Kun tällainen tunnari alkaa soimaan on maailma pulassa.
When music like this starts you know the world is in trouble.

The german dubbed version diseppears finally now End of October during the british DVD is always available .... cool - I love it
eine wirklich coole vollversion des Titelthemas

nostalgia,
hard watching this
Great show.
And of course as such it was cancelled because BBC had an ashole in charge!

Hat jemand schon Mal wieder das Wort Ozonschicht gehört,na!!!?
That's the writer of the books by the way

Hallo Zusammen,
ab im nächsten Jahr soll es eine DvD Box der Serie endlich in deutsch raus kommen. Schaut einfach mal auf der Homepage die bei den Infos steht rein. Da gibts die aktuellen Infos zu!

Hallo ja,
für mehr Infos schaut doch mal auf die Seite
diedreibeinigenherrscher
Es gibt auch von Teil 1-3 Hörbücher.Super gemacht und kann ich für Fans nur empfehlen!!
You know I always wanted to know how the people get capped INSIDE the Tripod.
Childhood BBC 80s sci fi classic!
@Dinobot2468 Why DId the BBC cancel it after 2 seasons?
Klar, weil sie damals nur kurz lief!
From where you've gotten this information?
Hieß das bei uns nicht Die Dreibeinigen Herrscher???
So ist es.
Wir schreiben das Jahr 1986 in einem Land das auch damals schon Deutschland hieß...
Vater zur Mutter: "Wir könnten ein neues Auto brauchen."
klein Patrick.: "Ich hätte aber lieber so nen Dreibeiner!"
Ich wollte damals auch ein Drebeiner haben.
Ken Freeman The Tripods Theme
💙💙💙
Nice music.
bbc should make a new series for the tripods
Yes, that fateful comment in the final episode "Has it all been for nothing?". Answer: YES! Because the BBC didn't film the final book of the trilogy. After all the money they spent on the first two series, surely it would have made more sense to finish the story properly with a third and final series. I bet Michael Grade had a hand in it, he axed Dr Who a few years after.
Too bad it was cancelled before the series could get concluded.
Well atleast we got a proper ending in the books.
Really ? I am French and we don't have the books....
what is its music title?
tripods theme _ by ken freeman
It's got a Buck Rogers feel to it so far....
Die Serie war recht teuer und nach einem Wechsel im Managment bei der BBC wurde das Feilbeil gesenkt. Frak it!
Und an einen Kinofilm bin ich jetzt nicht so interessiert. Eine Serie, ähnlich wie Battlestar Galactica, wäre aber klasse.
yep
at 2:49 is this nightrider?
Nein das 3 Buch wurde nicht verfilmt.
huh what does Disney success got to do with anything i said in my previous post ?
Sam youd (John Christopher) ( English )
@Josh23761 Perhaps they thought, that this could be the story if the aliens have won the War of the Worlds.
Besteht ein Zusammenhang zwischen "The Tripods" und "Krieg der Welten" ?!
Hi,
soviel ich weiß hat Walt Disney die recht.
Allerdings sind die Pläne zz noch auf Eisgelegt, weil kein passendes Drehbuch gibt.
Well, the Book is mutch better thant the TV-Serieas, but i love(d) both
Agreed! They complimented each other, but the books are amazing.
The movie versions of War of the Worlds were looked at by the BBC, but they'd cheated and used flying machines, not walking vehicles. The BBC, proud and insane as usual, decided that whatever Hollywood could do, they could do better. They did, too.
this is brill
Danke sch9n! ;-)
das hat mir damals Angst gemacht, mag die dinger heut noch nicht. :-)
I read the books
coole musik!!!!
could have gone on to have rivaled both Blakes7 and Doctor Who but it wasn't to be.
Wish the BBC just finish series with the 3rd season. What a waste.
@Kueeert Nur kam Tom Cruise 20 Jahre später!
Such tripods cannot walk, the legs are too wide apart, and the feet are too small.
because of new ITV shows which stopping people fom watching it. but still people watched it
@suonicslice wikipedia ist dein freund
für andere serien liebhaber, bei joox dot net gibts ein paar folgen
Krieg der Welten! XD Tom Cruise lässt grüßen
was es gibt ne serie?OO
klärt mich bitte jemand auf
Und wo ist "Im Schatten der Eule"?
Fernsehen hat keine Zukunft, nur eine Vergangenheit...
The books had some nice touches missing from the series, but the series had some superb touches that were missing from the books, plus technology updates the books could never have included. Any attempt to revive should blend the two to get the most power out of the story. The movie had better be good, but after the debacles known as The Saint, The Avengers and Fox's tv-movie of Doctor Who, I don't expect it to be. Narnia's CGI was terrible and showed horribly limited minds on computer graphics.
Damals hatte man noch Geld für einen 3min Trailer :)
Hat jemand eine Ahnung warum die Geschichte einfach so ohne ein richtiges Ende endete???!!!
oh ja...kindheitserinnerungen....
thats because disney took the rights
and blame the anti-scifi from a certain director who is chairing ITV
his stupidity has ciost us big time we could have got a sci-fi that was similar to LOST or Heros
They stole the idea of alian tripods from the War of the Worlds
jede scheiss serie wird wiederholt...warum nicht "die dreibeinigen herrscher"?...schade
wtf ? tripods is a boy adventure, did you know that they will make the whole story in the usa ? its an european story between france,uk and Germany !!!!!
theyve changed beanpole to a girl in the new film how stupid !
no no no no no , LOL let me explain
First the series, the Tripods (SEE ABOVE) was a BBC production,when at the time there was this chairman who hated SCi-fi. he TRY TO DESTRYED dR wHO AND stoped THE tRIPODS making any mores series thats why there only 3 seasons. THis guy has now moved to ITV

yes do a google search , they have indeed made beanpole a women , they just have to ruin everything they remake , sack all these writers and take fan submissions lol
it was the same wanker who scraped doctor who
