Release Notes

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hideously plausible when first broadcast in 1984, this BBC TV docu-drama now

seems like a terrifying might-have-been, although a great deal of what it says

about the probable aftermath of a nuclear attack remains horribly pertinent.

Scripted by Barry Hines (author of the novel on which Ken Loach's Kes was based)

and directed by Mick Jackson (who later went to Hollywood with The Bodyguard and

Volcano), at the time Threads seemed like a response to the American TV movie

The Day After although it stands nobly on its own. Showing the after-effects of

World War III on the United Kingdom by concentrating on two Sheffield families

linked by an unplanned pregnancy, it illustrates the scientific, political,

medical and social consequences of the severing of the many vital connective

"threads" that support a Western society. Grim in a particularly 1980s way, this

is a compulsive if uncomfortable watch and accomplishes a great deal without the

distraction of spectacle, picking through all the melted milk bottles and firing

squad traffic wardens to find the human horror at the heart of it all.
