    I clicked on this out of interest. I used to have nitemares (and still do and will probably tonight now!) about nuclear war when I was a kid, but I have a morbid fascination with watching and finding out about the explosions at every opportunity.

    I hope we never see the likes of it in our lifetime. If they were that powerful in the 50’s what are they like now?

    Scary stuff.

    Must say I do like the music though.

    Thats me barbecued then. The only consolation is it would be quick.

    My nightmares always consist of me surviving, that looks a highly unlikely scenario in this day and age.

    I’ll get the marshmallows on sticks in early then…. :shock: I’m quite close to Londinium Town too.

    Atom bombs scare me shitless as well. I hope to god none of the information needed to build them gets into the hands of wrong-doing.

    I will shew wonders in the heavens and in the earth, blood, and fire, and pillars (hebrew: palm trees) of smoke. The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and the terrible day of the Lord come. (Joel 2:30-31)

    And this shall be the plague wherewith the Lord will smite all the people that have fought against Jerusalem; Their flesh shall consume away while they stand upon their feet, and their eyes shall consume away in their holes, and their tongue shall consume away in their mouth. (Zech.14:12)

    Watched it in Scotland Rubes, was only about 8 or 9 I think. Was that the one based in Sheffield? I dont think it has ever been shown again since. I remember the young girl having a period and not knowing what it was, it was really horrific and probably a lot to do with the horrid dreams!

    An absolutely brilliant drama girls.

    A sequence of clips from it can be seen Here

    A pretty scary Q.E.D special on nuclear conflict screened around that period also scared the bejaysus outta me :roll:

    It was a pretty oppressive time :?

    Oh and like you, nuclear explosions do freak me.. and I still have the odd nightmare!
    Even recently, a nuke exploding in the new Indiana Jones movie gave me the willies :?

    It never goes away does it?! And then Midge Ure did that song Dancing with tears in my eyes just to top it all off!

    Im going for a fag before I watch those clips, just noticed the first is nearly 8 minutes and I will have to watch some more.
