WARNING: the following episode may cause severe anxiety, depression and the overwhelming urge to evacuate Sheffield. Why? Because in this episode, the ‘Nerds are reviewing three films all about the destruction of Britain via nuclear holocaust: “Threads” (Mick Jackson, 1984), Raymond Briggs’ “When The Wind Blows” (Jimmy T. Murakami, 1986) and “The Bed Sitting Room” (Richard Lester, 1969). So climb into your fallout shelters, get your chemical toilets ready and prepare your potato sacks as the Optic Nerds discuss how bloody horrible nuclear war is! This episode contains a brief sample of the song “Including The Last Voice” by Frankie Goes To Hollywood, from their album “Welcome To The Pleasuredome,” and a small snippet of the track “Enola Gay” by OMD (Orchestral Manoeuvres In The Dark), from their album “Organisation.”
