Oh, I heard about this! I've been trying to find it... no luck in any video shops I've found, not even on the torrents. Awesome. Of course it's going to depress the hell out of me -- so the fact I'm eager to watch it is kind of a paradox.

btw: you might want to *long this puppy.

Confirmed, it's depressing as hell. Almost as bad as Requiem.

Really well done though. Hope this makes the cut.

*long

Wow! I saw this when I was 8 years old when it was first broadcast. Sure did scare the heck out of me, surprising how much I remember exactly. Check out "the war game", it was banned in the 1960's because it was even scarier than this.

There was also a cartoon on this very subject. It was about an elderly couple living in the countryside and their preparations for the bomb aswell as their reactions and behaviour after it's been dropped. If you find it, please let me know and you'll get yourself another upvote!

Just watched it... damn.

(turns out nuclear war devestates everything!)

I'd never considered that society & government might fall that completely apart. I've always thought of it as if a core of civilization would survive (at least in the form of people's knowledge and education), and start rebuilding industry & infrastructure after maybe a couple of years. To be literally bombed back to the stone age seems incredible...

I wonder if it would really be that hard to just spring back?

watch this - who knows - maybe there's a happy ending!
