sf novel by John Wyndham. Max Beesley will co star! To shoot next month, it is set in Midwich, a small English commuter town that is liberal and aspirational, populated by nuclear families and affluent high streets. A place where nothing much happens – and for a very good reason. That is until the twilight hours of a summer’s day when a sleepy corner of Midwich is plunged into panic. People pass out on their feet without warning, without reason. Anyone who tries to enter meets the same fate. And nobody can understand why. When the mysterious blackout is lifted, life for those affected returns to apparent normality – except every woman of child bearing age inside the zone has suddenly and inexplicably fallen pregnant.

Local officer DCI Paul Kirby (Beesley) is tasked with maintaining order but unbeknownst to them all, a terrifying force is building in the comfortable streets of Midwich.

  2. Sounds like a horror story to me. I'd frickin' die if I passed out and woke up pregnant. I'd pass the little bastard on to someone else. All kidding aside, I babysat 4 kids the other day for 3 hours, ages 1,3,5,12 and omg I needed a 5 hour nap when I got home. I don't think I'm cut out for taking care of any kids anymore LOL

    1. Ewww, sounds like you had your own little nightmare... cannot stand kids, especially the little bratty ones. Why would anyone even have four kids!

    2. Some people like have them, as crazy as that sounds. In all fairness, I do love the kiddies as my own, but Jesus they have more energy than they know what to do with. Bottle that stuff up and pass it to me, please! As for watching stranger's kids, like what you teachers do/did, that would be a hard no for me. Kids are assholes.
