I remember when I was a kid there were actual films on the BBC regarding what to do if Russia decided to send over a nuclear bomb, most of it from what I can remember involved hiding under the kitchen table !?!

So if it looks a bit dodgy on the 21st get running for the kitchen, not sure what those will do if they don't have one...... good idea for a film maybe

The end of the world is actually the 31st December 2013. Our chemist gave us a calendar and there are no dates after that one so it must be right.

there was a film from 196? which was banned so as not to frighten sensitive souls. We were shown it at uni late 1980s.....it was based around a nuclear bomb dropping on Manston airport in Kent- about 2 miles from my house at the time.

We locals always thought there was something dodgy going on at the RAF base there...

Anyway we have plans for 22nd- should I continue. Might save a bit of money buying no Christmas presents ' but I thought the world was going to end'

Cheetah may have been thinking of the "Protect and Survive" series.



You may have seen "The War Game" (Peter Watkins)

Our Masters in Downing Street, Whitehall and the BBC decided that we should not see "The War Game" when it was made for TV back in 1965.
