The Midwich Cuckoos.

In a small town called Midwich, a blackout occurs for 12 hours, the residents in the area collapse for unknown reasons. When everyone comes round some of the female residents are pregnant that comes under the watchful eye of the British Government and scientists.

I just spent the last seven hours going through this series, forget the original and remake movie, and don't go into this thinking of the book, it goes way off track from the John Wyndham source. This could have been crammed into a 6 episode series instead on 7, the acting was really good even though I don't recognise half the actors and actresses. The ones playing the kids aged between 3 and 5 years old were good. There is one or two twist and turns added in quite nicely and why someone has taken a keen interest in the children. Some parts do tend to drag on a bit and slow things down but certainly enjoyable.
