Dagnammit - I thought it was going to be a video version, but it's just audio.
As a John Wyndham fan, I reckon it's about time there was a film version of The Kraken Wakes.

Mind you, we also had Jim'll Fix It so a bit of horror wasn't the worst.
Unfortunately it had Gary Glitter in it playing a fairly major character so unless someone dumps a ropey old VHS of it onto Youtube it's never going to be seen outside of Granada Television's deepest murkiest vaults.
Though I'd love to see it done as a faithful alternate history/retro-futurism thing too.
I'm a big Lovecraft fan and have tried to watch as many of the video versions as possible, but most of the adaptations turn out to be fairly rubbish. Color Out of Space was good fun though. I think the best Lovecraftian films are not directly related and I'd recommend AM1200 as an excellent short that gives a really good Lovecraftian feel.
Go make it.
