BBC, 1984 "Threads"

[Mohoender]

I'm trying to get it, but without success, for the moment. I've only managed some links to download it in Spanish or German. It seems it has not been translated to French or Portuguese. But it's strange that we've been unable to find a link for the English version.

If you have a link to a Spanish version, I could deal with that. My little spanish dates back 20 years but I can still manage to get around it. However, I'm entirely unable to get around German. I think that I'm definitely averse to that language (and only to the language ).

I saw it in 1984/85 when I was 18, pretty scary. It was kind of interesting that there was some sort of order returning in society, I remember some limited use of electricity and the attempt to teach kids by using an old VCR and TV. That tells me that there was some "controlling legal authority" that has come about, I wish there was more of a background on that.

I have a signed copy of this in the house from when the author visited our school - very good book and one I'd happily recommend to anyone on here.

Agreed. I think we've discussed this book before.

Here you have the link. You will find the rapidshare links to .rar files.

We have, but I thought it was worth mentioning again for all the new folks on here. If you can get it try and get an early version of it before they rewrote the end for a happy ending!

Anyway, I've never thought that the nuclear war effects depicted in Twilight were realistic.

I seem to remember it's written somewhere amongst the rulebooks that the aftereffects of the nuclear strikes were purposely watered down just so the characters might actually have a chance of doing something besides pure survival.
Damn hard to get around, contribute to rebuilding society and so on when you're 60% focused on finding your next non-irradiated meal and 40% on minimsing your rads by staying in a crude fallout shelter.

Two other books I would reccomend reading are "Z for Zachariah" by Robert C. O'Brien and "Wolf and Iron" by Gordon R Dickson.
The first, while a younger readers book, is quite grim in it's portrayal of the world and the second is set in a non-nuclear post holocaust world but one I feel fits nicely with T2K.

I loved Wolf and Iron, and still have it on the shelf here.

I recall that "Z for Zachariah" had quite a profound effect on me when I read it as a young teenager.

Z for Zacahriah is a good read as well, although I always wanted a bit more background on the war in the book - although I know thats just my inner military nerd coming out :-) The book was never meant to be about anything other than the events in the valley and was more about the characters than the background.
