It's 1984 and downtown Sheffield is about to become a target of the nuclear war between the USA and dependable baddies, the Soviet Union. While it was considered ground-breaking at the time, this BBC feature has dated rather horribly and the DVD release is unable to help.

The picture quality is rather grainy but it's ultimately due to the poor condition of the original print. The sound is in mono but is thankfully quite clear.

Sheffield appears to look much the same after a nuclear strike but some of you may enjoy taking this little trip down memory lane. The acting veers from very good to downright embarrassing but the scariest thing about this film is probably the accuracy with which it reflects how screwed we'd be in such a situation. Also of interest is the fact that this production only lists one clearly very busy stunt person.
