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.

My nightmares always consist of me surviving, that looks a highly unlikely scenario in this day and age.
17 June, 2008 at 6:30 pm #349008oh dinna !!! ( dont) i have similar style dreams..
did you ever watch Threads ? be a bit before your time ,but was a damm good drama.
17 June, 2008 at 6:47 pm #349009I’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.

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 :?17 June, 2008 at 10:16 pm #349013@Sgt Pepper wrote:
