Would be interesting to compare this to the actual book (this was a two part radio program). Very interesting to see how the role of the Children changes from part 1 (the women are distressed, the men can’t much be bothered) to part 2 (for the most part the women still love their children while the men want them to die). Really enjoyed how much the dialogue would split off in gendered pairs for a comparison of how everyone discussed what was happening.

The premise and plot were intriguing, but sometimes the style brought on yawns and nods.

Woah this was really interesting and the philosophy student in me was bewildered. A true dissection of humanity and survival of the fittest. I love now John Wyndham writes its just so clever
