Martin Moore

What could go wrong? The book, the basis, the concrete base. Building on such a firm foundation should produce an architectural delight. The radio show was tension personified through the Airways. The original film. Although deviating from the locations, for its time, the eerie sense of doom and lack of human ability to stop it, was clear. The music, built tension and suspense. It takes you there. The emotional ups and downs go with your imagination. This adaptation? It had 10 seconds were the martian is looking up an elevator shaft. This show made a Martian invasion look like the Martians were on a gardening exhibition. A bit of weeding here, a bit of seeding there. All that was left out was a large watering can. Watched all three because I believed that there was always more to come. Afraid not.
