We're currently working our way through John Finch's A Family At War. This early 70s Thames drama series is brilliant: great writing, compelling performances and, for a moderate drama budget, really impressive. Hugely recommended, now deleted but grab it on DVD if you can.

Fascinating thread. Staggered to find out about this.

Great thread. Utterly terrifying. I can definitely recommend Command & Control by Eric Schlosser.

Years later, as a teenager, I remember being on holiday in France. They tested their emergency sirens there regularly - maybe they still do? - and I absolutely s*** myself one morning when that horrifying wail filled the air.

I was 10 when Threads was originally shown. My parents wouldn't let me see it, despite my asking repeatedly if I could watch it. I'll be forever grateful. I can't imagine what effect it would have had on me. I was still terrified by the prospect of nuclear war though - it was that pervasive.
