57 - The Day of the Triffids by John Wyndham

A sci-fi post-apocalyptic classic 1951, the predecessor of all the zombie survival stories that are so common nowadays. Adam and Paul joined me to re-read it, talk about the movie and TV adaptations and find out whether it's still as good as we remember it.
