'Threads'
"
One of the most terrifying programmes ever shown on British television, Threads is the nuclear apocalypse drama-documentary that continues to haunt people’s nightmares 40 years on. Ahead of a rare new showing on the BBC, here’s a look at how the drama still has the potential to terrify people. First broadcast on 23 September 1984, anyone who tuned in to BBC Two on that Sunday evening would experience a bleak and unforgettable depiction of a massive nuclear bomb attack on a British city and its aftermath.
It was a nightmare scenario that was all too plausible in an era of heightened tension between the West and the then Soviet Union. Rarely seen on television since its first broadcast, it's being shown again on BBC Four and iPlayer on 9 October. Sheffield was chosen as the fictional nuclear target because its writer, Kes author Barry Hines, lived there.
