Episode 2

Alien attacks, now global flooding. Val McDermid’s take on John Wyndham's sci-fi tale. Stars Tamsin Greig and Paul Higgins.

Lone alien attacks are replaced by global flooding. Mike and Phyllis fight to survive as much of the world is submerged and most of the global population dead or displaced.

John Wyndham's 1953 novel adapted by Val McDermid.

Floods have recently devastated parts of Britain. But what if the flood waters never subsided? What if an apparent meteor shower was actually the invasion fleet of an alien race?
