Asking Brits who saw Threads when they were in school in the 80's (I guess you're probably in your early to mid 50's now, right?).

How did you and others in your class react to the film? Did you and your peers worry much around that time?

Just finished it myself, and it was very convincing in how it depicted the effects of a nuclear attack. Some of the events detailed as precursors to nuclear war were also worryingly similar to current events.

It was nice to see my home city being represented on tv.

I don't remember much about it other than thinking that a lot of people would be happy that the Town Hall extension ("egg box building") was destroyed.

I didn't watch it much past that point.

🤣 Good to see that people didn't take it too seriously. The scenes that got to me the most were the ones at the pub. Moved to Norway a few years ago, and am currently missing the pub terribly. Building one in the basement as we speak.
