War of the worlds

Anyone watching?

It was rubbish. BBC 3/10 for effort. Could do better.

We’re still watching it on Catch.up, how in God’s name did this get commissioned. Its so boring!

Still , she’s got a potato plant by the look of it!

Holy shitola! I think we can all now answer the question "just how long can you pad an episode out with shots of a pretty woman staring forlornly into the middle distance?"

55 fucking minutes it would seem.

3 hours of my life I won’t get back..sigh!

OMG that was Soooooo Boooooring!!!!

That was apile of poop.
I have not read the book, but as its such a clasic, i assume that was not anything like the book.

It's pretty impressive how they managed to make an alien invasion so boring.

That last episode was particularly dreadful. It’s like they ran out of money after episode 2 so had to fill episode three up with people looking miserable and dusty with a roses strawberry-cream wrapper stuck over the camera lens.

It was like the boring lovechild of Starship Troopers” and WallE”

1/10 for episode one for the dog and horse. They have better acting skills then the people.

Thanks for warning me off, everyone.

Watching last episode now. I may have dozed off once. God its dull.

God that was bloody awful. I did quite like the Martians-I'm not just talking about the fact that me and my boyfriend were egging them on towards the end, I mean they looked pretty good too.

I agree with a lot of the posters: the bullshit woke additions ruined it for me too.

Come back Tom Cruise!

Everyone knows, of course, that the book is well out of copyright and is available from www.gutenberg.org in a variety of interesting formats.

Hell's bells, that was dire.

Such a shame as the novel is brilliant!

DP is loving it I'm struggling x

This 3 minute YouTube video was better than that pile of crap!

I thought it was promising in the first episode and then not too sure in the second. Episode 3 left me looking for a diversion and I noticed dh was back to his crossword. Think this needed to be on the radio and produced in a more straight forward manner ie not back and forwards as if they needed to introduce some kind of clever modern slant. I found it a let down.

I quite enjoyed it, although padding it out to three episodes was a bad idea. I didn't like the way it jumped backwards and forwards either.

I haven't read the book, but have seen the live show which was brilliant.

I thought episode one was ok, thought episode 2 was good and episode 3 was dire. Such a shame, it could have been really good but focussing on what happened through the small lens of one couples story didn't work particularly when their story was so boring

Add up the minutes Amy/Demelza is on camera looking wistful/worried and I reckon that counts for at least one whole episode.

Complete pile of tosh and I was so looking forward to it too (I'm such a fan of the Jeff Wayne musical adaptation)
