HG Wells Archived Message Posted by Mary on November 17, 2019, 10:20 pm It was prescient of him to have written the War of the Worlds in 1898 and to have foreseen war. The BBC could have saved themselves a pot of money by going straight to Syria, Iraq or Libya to film destruction and devastation rather than going to Horsell Common in Woking and film studios to simulate it. Woking, a rather characterless commuter town, now being filled with 32 storey tower blocks of flats, is well and truly in the news today with that Pizza Express story and now this TV drama. Some parallels for 2019? https://www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio/2019/nov/17/the-war-of-the-worlds-review-doom-dystopia-and-a-dash-of-downton Message Thread: HG Wells - Mary November 17, 2019, 10:20 pm Pullman.. - Gerard November 18, 2019, 11:07 am If you'll excuse me appropriating.. - Gerard November 18, 2019, 12:01 pm Re: HG Wells - scrabb November 18, 2019, 2:30 pm   Searching
