They showed us Threads in primary school. I don't remember much of it to be honest, other than finding the accents hilarious (as Lancastrians we were brought up to fear & hate the Yorkist dogs).
I think it shook up the teachers more than us, but I guess that's to be expected. We were too young to really have felt the paranoia of the times.
- tonyblundell 13y agoThey showed it to us at Primary school too. I'm from south Sheffield though so the accents sounded quite posh to us :-)I do remember being freaked out by any loud noises in town for a few months afterwards. I watched it again a couple of years ago. It's amazing to think about how close we actually came to nuclear war not so long ago and now we're in a position where people can campaign for self disarmament of nuclear weapons.
- gadders 13y agoWe had people campaigning for unilateral disarmament then as well. TBH I still don't think it's a valid position when you have rogue states such as Pakistan and North Korea with nuclear weapons.
