Do you mean the film 'Threads' or the film '1984'?

You can tell it's Friday night and I'm knackered. I thought Erimus was referring to 1984 by George Orwell

Oh god no! SO scary because it could happen! And I tell you, I wouldn't want to survive the blast and 'live' in a post nuke world that's for sure. Be better to get fried straight away methinks!

I too thought this was a “thread” about the film 1984.
Both are good films tbh.

Yeah, it was and still is powerful stuff.
At the time it first came out, TV stations in the USA & Canada had to post a public warning before they could show it.

Yeah, and I remember the US one 'The Day After' being so timid. This was something else altogether. Gives me a chill every time I think about it. Those kids grunting, because there was no education!! Back to the Stone Age in a matter of moments!

I read a book by Alex Scarecrow I think his name called, Last Light, modern times, starts in new York on a normal Monday morning & in the space of only a few days, the world's oil supplies have been severed & at a horrifying pace things begin to unravel everywhere, I couldnt put it down, even though it upset me, then read the follow up called, After Light
