Well, it has been a while, but I had a subconscious dream, that one day, this series will be completed.

YIPEE!!! ....err, does anyone feel the same way?

Okay, I have a stupid question...do you mean the young adult novel series by John Christopher? (Which apparently has a prequel that I never heard of...dang you Amazon!)

Yes, thats' the one..., I only know of them, from the TV series, never read the books.

So you're talking about the tv series being completed in this case? Cause the book series was completed long ago - The City of Gold and Lead, The Pool of Fire, and When the Tripods Came. I recall liking the books a lot way back when.

A quick google of the tv series shows that the BBC produced series 1 and 2 around 1985.
The BBC produced the show and here's a link: http://www.bbc.co.uk/cult/ilove/tv/tripods/intro.shtml.
In short, don't expect season 3 - unless they redo the whole series from scratch.

You should give the books a look -- they're great.

Wow, childhood flashbacks! I originally got into this series because Boy's Life adapted them in comic form. I know I read the first book back in 4th grade but I don't think I ever finished the series. Going to have to see if the library has them next time I go.

I didn't know this was turned into a TV show by the BBC. Are they available on region free DVD by any chance?

And here is the answer to your question, look in the right-hand corner.

Tripods.

When the Tripods Came

Very cool series, but I liked this better!

The Last Legionary read like a Traveller campaign!

You may not ever get the third series from the BBC, but according to AICN they're doing a movie version http://www.aint-it-cool-news.com/display.cgi?id=19083
