Now Threads, the terrifying apocalyptic drama about a nuclear bomb laying waste to the city, has been named as one of the BBC’s greatest moments from its 100 years of broadcasting. The TV film, which was shot on location around the city and featured residents as extras, has been chosen by a member of the BBC Archive team as one of the best things made by the Beeb over the last century – and from his comments its clear the show left an indelible mark.>

Jimmy likes birds, and his brother dies in the blast along with the finches. The families are separated and never reunite in the chaos. The movie flashes forward in regular intervals, family members dying of illness and starvation, finally ten years later, Ruth blind and ravaged by fallout. In other news, the producers bought the rights to Johnny B. Goode, and they’re damn sure gonna play it.>

It’s not clear whether the timing of the publication of South Yorkshire and Nuclear War: Information for the Public in the County of South Yorkshire was simply a big coincidence, or a well-planned strategy. The latter scenario is entirely possible; the local authority had already made a name for itself nationally for its extreme (for the UK) left-wing leanings, so piggybacking on Threads to deliver an extra blow to the Conservative government and its strong belief in Civil Defence is not out of the question. >

Sraight after Threads, Dinsdale starred alongside John Thaw in the ITV sitcom Home To Roost.

Dinsdale, 61, originally from Normanton, Wakefield, has a long list of TV, film and stage credits including starring roles in the 90s ITV crime drama Thief Takers and Kenneth Branagh's film adaptation of Hamlet.

That's not to forget his role in Coronation Street and on Emmerdale where he has worked in front of and behind the camera.>

My guess is large amounts of Resource extraction of pre-war resources from shampoo, paper,scrap metals, books, laundry detergent, drugs, cobblestone from bricks, wheels, wood and cloth ect. These are excavated in organized government excavation projects and paid for with food grown from the countryside. Commuting is common from the countryside though suburbs with some level of food production capacity(like North Korea any land that can be farmed by survivors likely is) could form permanent settlements and centers of trade.

How did the British who knew of the expected food scarcity arising from nuclear war plan on feeding the livestock?

She was taken to a shelter probably why would she receive more food then anyone else?

Vacationing is suicide as to eat you need to work, no matter your condition (though you might be given 500 calories though that's assuming there is enough food for non workers for the authorities to give) but during the blizzard shown during the first winter did all the workers get a day off due to prevent exposure from hypothermia. Walking in the park was still possible as the film shows parks being repurposed for government purposes though no one would be cleaning them if they weren't used.

Probably alot of surviving pre war stocks of acahol rapidly dwindling supplies of illegal drugs that survivors would have desired its restocking means of Import(though the nuclear winter would kill most of the drug plants)

collect bodies for fertilizer, make fertilizer? Continue scavanging for food?
