Threads 40 years on

[Bluesince1979]

Frightened me to death as a kid in the 80s as nuclear war felt like a real possibility.
They were always testing the local siren in cheadle, always public info bits on tv. Seemed quite frightening to me at the time

Threads is an amazing film really.

A very well done film. Love Reese Dinsdale.

A total eye opener

He survived a nuclear bomb to become a top boy a few years later

I remember hearing them testing it in Failsworth from the TA centre on Oldham road, was scary stuff. To think that taking all your doors off in the house and placing them at an angle and white washing windows was the advice to survive a nuclear attack.

A bit like drinking bleach for Covid!
