Found this over the Christmas period on Channel 5 catchup TV
My5 - War of the Worlds - Season 1 - Episode 1 / Episode 1 (channel5.com)
Binge watched my way through the whole of Season One, have to say it is brilliant, no big stars, lots of sub stories, and its a mixture of English/French with sub titles.
Doesn't follow the usual HG Wells plot, other than how it starts
Very much follows 'The Survivor' type scenario, and for my money other than Tabby McTat its been my highlight on the box over the festive period!
