There's also tripods from The Tripods trilogy by John Christopher, and made into a BBC series which ended abruptly without finishing the story... it ended with the young heroes returning to base in the White Mountains and finding the base deserted.

Yes, thats the second link there. There's been talk of picking up the third series for a long time now and recently (as in within the last two years) I read some where they're even considering a total remake...

I'll believe it when I see it though

Had a laugh over the Tescos one. Printing RM tomorrow so I can read it on the train.
