comment
More Than Mind Control: The children were able to exert enough influence over the mothers to stop them having abortions even while they were still developing. After birth, emphasis is often placed on how the parents, particularly the mothers, make excuses for the children and genuinely want to accept them, until later acts turn all of the parents more subtly but actively against the children.

Missed the Call: Basically applies to Doctor Zellaby; while she is old enough to still have children, she was out of Midwich on a date the night of the original pregnancy and got back too late to be affected.

Adaptation Dye-Job: The Children in series appeared more human, matching with the skin, hair, and eye color of their mother, unlike in the novel, where all of them have pale with blond hair and gold eyes.
