Threads: The BBC drama which affected a generation of viewers
I was shown this at school aged 9 in 1984. I remembered it being grim.<p>I decided to rewatch it last year and it's the bleakest thing I've ever seen in my entire life (and I've seen Salo) and in no way suitable to be shown to nine year olds. It gradually increases the bleakness to be so bleak that by the end of it your first thought is "If there's a nuclear strike I'm standing up somewhere high to be vaporised" as the alternative that's suggested in Threads is a living hell.<p>What I also realised is that just how many of my teachers must have been members of CND and activist teachers who were wanting to scare us into becoming like them.
