Even if you have not read the book, or seen the equally famous 1960 film Village of the Damned (the one with all the creepy identikit children who would have been even creepier if the blond wigs hadn’t been so … wiggy) or John Carpenter’s 1995 take on it, or heard any of the many radio adaptations, you have probably absorbed the basics by osmosis.įarr’s version does not deviate from the original premise, to the project’s detriment, but let’s not get ahead of ourselves. Sky’s new seven-part drama The Midwich Cuckoos is the latest adaptation (by David Farr, who did the same with John le Carré’s The Night Manager to much acclaim) of John Wyndham’s perennially popular 1957 sci-fi tale.
