Gosh, I remember that! It really caused a stir, the government were hopping mad about it and gave them more of an excuse to hate the BBC for it's alleged left-wing bias. Which is a bullshit accusation, they just wanted Murdoch to be the main provider of bullshit in the UK and successive governments have supported this in return for favourable coverage from his tawdry rags. But the phone hacking scandal emerged just in time to send Murdoch back to the USA with his tail between his legs and before he could start a Fox style UK news channel. Good riddance to bad rubbish.
Good film though. It's lucky we averted a nuclear war I think, I doubt I would have enjoyed it much apart from the initial photo opportunities. ---In [email protected], <noozguru@...> wrote : A grim reminder of what nuclear war could be like with this 1984 BBC produced drama: http://youtu.be/5AUYCnzmDJY http://youtu.be/5AUYCnzmDJY On 03/15/2014 09:02 AM, Richard J.
