Threads...
I am not sure if anyone remembers "Threads" from the mid-80s fear mongering years - I remember some of it, gave me nightmares for months afterwards. I think I wasn't much more than 10. And then in the mid-90s got reminded of it again, suffered more nightmares, though for a couple of weeks.

Haven't had the balls to watch it again! Probably shit as well.

I watched that this year.
I found it pretty harrowing as a twenty-something adult who didn't grow up with all the cold war fear. Can't imagine what it was like at the time.

I was ten and counted off walking to call for my friends in 4-minute timeslots.
and that's why I never called for liza d between 1982 and 1985. she was 5 minutes away and i would have never got home in time.

I agree
The complete terror which accompanied it as well. My Dad was in the army at the time, and brought home books about what to do in a nuclear war, and how to build a shelter. Never mind Frankie Goes To Hollywoods Two Tribes, which made a joke of it, it was just fucking scary.

It's great to have programs like this when you're at the age where you become aware of your own mortality. I remember finding out the grown-ups have invented this big red 'every-one dies' button. And if some cunt presses it you're gonna get lucky and be vaporised or unlucky and bleed to death out of your arse over a period of weeks.

It just seemed like a very silly idea.

At the right age...
There was loads of them in the 70s, Donald Plesance as Death, Christopher playing on the railway tracks and getting hit by a train...It took Public Service Annoucements to stop me from doing a bloody lot of things.

Except jumping in to a drainage ditch in Lincolnshire. I don't remember one for those, so I did it.
