Jack Harkness, aka Captain Jack from Doctor Who arrives in contemporary Cardiff and is inducted into Torchwood a covert extra terrestrial and paranormal investigation agency. This spin off is a more adult based series then the much loved Doctor Who. This superb box set brings together every episode from the series. The torchwood team are separate from the government, outside the police and beyond the United Nations. Everyone who works for Torchwood is under the age of 35. Some say that’s because it’s a new science, but others say it’s because they die young. A great series for all Captain Jack fans.

The 1981 series came in six parts, each about 25 minutes long. In the first episiode, we meet protagonist Bill Masen (John Duttine), who knows all about the rhubarb(the triffids) having spent some time working among the people who harvest their valuable oil extracts. These strange plants, whose origin is most mysterious, can not only walk but kill, subduing victims with their whip-like stingers and then consuming the rotting flesh. When a kind of toxic celestial event lits up the skies and blinds everyone who dared look at it, leaves most of the population sightless and stumbling about the streets of London. Some of those who missed the calamitous light show, including Bill and Jo (Emma Relph), can still see, while the triffids, who multiply in frightening numbers, proceed to lay waste to everyone else. There are some interesting ideas developed along the way, including the inevitable breakdown of civilization as the survivors struggle to begin anew while dealing with the implacable triffids.

In this epic adaptation of John Wyndham’s best-selling iconic novel, we see his terrifying creation of carnivorous plant species brought to life in a CGI extravaganza.
