Just seven days later? We expected to be in our post for three weeks or more!
I can't help feel that this was a glossed over version of events,designed to reassure the public rather than deal with the reality of a nuclear strike.
While there was huge difference between the '62 and '71 versions, both pale into insignificance when compared to the 1984 film Threads. This was the stuff of nightmares, and made no attempt to gloss over the facts of an all out nuclear exchange.
What struck me having watched the two versions of Sound an Alarm ('62 and '71) was that this one was less triumphalist, blacker and (dare I say it) more cynical.
Thanks, P, for uploading this valuable archival material.

Are Brits really this calm? Apparently, nuclear war is not as bad as tying Algeria 0-0...
