Really looking forward to this, hope it does it justice

For "anyone watching it?" substitute "Eleanor Tomlinson is in it". Self-answering question.
Timer set thank you.
Looking forward to it. Some of the clips in the advert look like they have tried to recreate the artwork in Jeff Wayne's brilliant album. Hopefully that sort of attention to detail bodes well. Just hope the BBC dont pepper it with their usual thinly disguised anti-brexit propaganda and out of time (for the drama concerned) political correctness.
Looks to be better than the 2005 offering judging by the trailer 🙂
When I was young my dad bought that album and played it continuously it seemed and it left a big impression on me. Still love listening to it now and the artwork with the album was fantastic, particularly the misty Horsell Common picture. Even now when I pass a similar looking location early in the morning or at dusk the album artwork image comes into my head.
Very much looking forward to the series and I’m currently reading the original H G Wells book.
Cheers

Think I'm going to have to dig out the cd for in the car...............OOOOOOOoooolaaaaa
Just dug out the album. It’s such a classic

its very good, some "dark" moments, far better than the tom cruise crap
Think I maybe give it a go
Well unless you've heard "The chances of anything coming from Brexit negotiations are a million to one" in the trailer, I wonder if it's the BBC or you..
I'm looking forward to it, although I understand the red headed woman plays a character not in the original novel, so you may find it's been too altered for your taste.

Dont concern yourself about me, it's the BBC definitely lol. I'm not overly concerned about deviations from the novel such as an extra new character for example, more a complete reworking a la Tom Cruise. And as stated in my earlier post I think it bodes well.

Some of you that maybe haven't invested time in the book may be a little disappointed, from the trailer it looks like a very good effort to stay true to the novel, so not quite as 'Holywood' with the accompanying fireworks.

"Once is happenstance. Twice is coincidence. The third time it's enemy action."
'Populism, the last refuge of a Tory scoundrel'.
On another thread, I recommended the authorised sequel "The Massacre of Mankind" by Stephen Baxter. It's excellent, and follows on in a much expanded way beautifully.
So clever my foot fell off.
I had the album but somehow lost it. Remember it having the machines on the cover.
I'm looking forward to watching it, hope it lives up to expectations.
I remember this version from when I was a kid. It was very scary then but looks rather weak now.

So far, effects, over-loud sound track, wafer-thin script.

Very slow, cgi and real actors completely separate shots, looks budget!
I'm in no great rush to see episodes 2 and 3
The jury is out on this one. Hoped for better, expected worse.
A bit......meh
Will probably watch ep2 though
Positives:
Eleanor Tomlinson is in it.
Negatives:
They blew up the George & Dragon in Great Budworth.
Been excited for this since I heard about it last year as a friend of a friend lives by a village they were filming in. Apparently one of the filming cranes fell on someone's Bentley
Personally thought it felt like a mix of Clover field, doctor who and Downton abbey. What a load of shat.
I lost interest when it looked like the poor dog copped it. Having said that, if the series prompts people to read the novel then it’s no bad thing.
It too sure on this as yet, hope second episode is better.

Not impressed at all
Might watch episode 2 to see if it improves
Hmmm....not sure yet. But it beats Poldark or Downton Abbey on a Sunday night.
