Hi Gary,
Just been going through all the comments for "The Tripods" and saw your part going back to 2003, well if you haven't managed to get hold of a copy you can get both season 1 & 2 in a boxset at Amazon.
I got my copy when it was first released on DVD and have just finished watching it again, that's why I am looking it up on IMDB..

Actually the series is based off the books, not the books off the series. Moot point though.
Didn't get to see the series when it was aired, but managed to DL them sometime back, and finally getting around to watching it all.

Basically, it's what
The War of the Worlds
would have been if the Martians had won.
There are 8.2 billion people in the world. 8.19 billion of them have never heard of and don't give a fuck about Charlie Kirk. Get over it.

Both seasons of The Tripods is available through eBay all the time. I just bought them. I can't wait for them to arrive.

I ordered this from Play some years ago when it was advertised as being 'out of stock' Then it just quietly disappeared..GRRRRRRR! I liked the first series, but at the time didn't get to see the second. Then a few months ago I bought season two on E-bay..YAY! I thought in many ways it was a great improvement on series one, although there were some jarring notes..the oft-mentioned Masters'lack of menace, for one. There was also the fact that there was no evidence of the Masters' greater gravity..all the slaves were able to dance around in the (silly) 80's wine bar/disco, 'The Pink Parrot', despite the fact that the Masters treated them likeerm..slaves.. Then there was Georg, the old slave who Will replaced.. he looked pretty sprightly to me, rather than as in the novels someone 'who went to his Happy Release, secure in the knowledge that he has served the Masters to the last atom of his energy' or something like that!!
All gripes aside it was great to see the second series. The set I have is pretty grainy and looks like a transfer from a dodgy video..but it's a lot better than not having it.
Just out of interest.. does anyone know why the second series was only available for such a short time? Seems odd especially when you consider that the first series is stil widely available.

I looked on Amazon.co.uk & it does indeed seem that it was officially available on reg2 dvd for a limited time.Does anyone know why it was deleted so quickly?

Season 2 WAS released on DVD around the same time as season 1. However, much to my annoyance as well, for some reason it was withdrawn soon after although season 1 is still available. Maybe when the movie is out, it'll be rereleased.

Anyone out there have season 2 on vhs/dvd they would wanna sell to me?
I have lots of Doctor Who videos I could swap for it.
I watched Season 1 over a weekend and adored it, now I just wanna see season 2 and much to my annoyance, like no series 3 being made, season 2 has not be released yet and looks unlikely to be anytime soon.
Can anyone help me?

how have you got hold of themhave looked everywhere
baught series 1 on dvd a few months ago:- entertaining in a blast form the past sort of way really want to complete the "filmed" trilogy
leakthey won't leak..theyre made by the US army

i have the tripods series 2 on dvd, 3 dvds

i was so addicted to this show
i used to run home from school to watch it, then as always, the BBC pulled the plug. I'm not sure to be honest, it was the BBC, but they totally have their heads up their backsides when it comes to marketing and keeping shows.
and they picked such a bad point in the story to not continue
really comes off quite depressing. but if it comes out on DVD it'll be worth getting.

I haven't seen the series but I have read the books. They are damn good. I hope to persue a career as a director and i want to make films based on these books.
