BEHIND THE STORY with PHIL WHITMORE “DAY OF THE TRIPODS” This story was originally called “TRIPODS”. This story, obviously was based on the Tripods from “War of The Worlds”. They got wiped out by the cold virus. The solution to getting rid of these Tripods (in Mr Custa) is just as simple: water! Because these Tripods are just giant metal robots. And they can rust and fall to bits. Well, it made sense when I wrote it! Nothing more to say about this story, apart from it took ages to create the radio sound-scapes of the vision of hundreds of giant Tripods invading, and shooting & blowing things up.
