Nominated for seven BAFTAs, and winning four including Best Single Drama, this BBC film depicts the effects of global nuclear war on the city of Sheffield. Written by Barry Hines (Kes) and directed by Mick Jackson (The Bodyguard) it is unflinching in its presentation of the weeks leading up to war, the attack itself and the bleak years of nuclear winter that follow.
From its first broadcast Threads became one of the most significant and influential commissions ever seen on the BBC. Don’t miss this rare opportunity to experience this unshakeable vision of a dystopian apocalypse which is every bit as timely and visceral as it was on its initial transmission.
