Panorama - If The Bomb Drops (1980 Nuclear War episode, precursor to 'Threads')

video thumbnail
Originally broadcast 10 March 1980.

I have spent a LONG time trying to source this.

This 1980 episode of Panorama, featuring a fresh-faced Jeremy Paxman, takes a look at the UK Government's preparations for the public in the event of a possible outbreak of Nuclear War.

This pre-dates the seminal 'Threads' by 4 years, as well as a coming a couple of years earlier than 'QED: A Guide to Armageddon'

Another little bit of fascinating Cold War history.
