As some of you may already know the BBC is doing a new version of the War of the Worlds. For the first time it will be set in England, where the original novel was set, and it will be set in 'period' but not quite as early as the original book. The series is being set around WW1 (yes!) with the British troops wearing WW1-style khaki uniforms and using "Old Bill" type buses as infantry transports. So… it appears that the new game and the Beeb have had the same idea and at about the same time.

This YouTube film appears to be a third-party effort but includes a lot of production stills of the filming of the actors.

It does not include the Martians as, I presume, they will be CGI and the Beeb has not released much of the CGI material yet.

However a tripod is shown here:
