For those who don't know. Threads was a tv film about a nuclear bomb hitting the UK. Was made about 40 years ago

I think it's time for a remake. Aibu

What would a remake achieve?

But no, I don't think it should be remade. They'll make a hash of it like most remakes.

Where is it available to watch? I watched it as a teen. I'm in my early 60s now and its stayed with me.

I live in Sheffield & was about 17 when it was first shown, it was terrifying watching something like that about somewhere you were so familiar with.

I've never forgotten the woman wetting herself on the pavement

It's still powerful. I wouldn't want a remake

YANBU. It's a great film but I think it would do well to be made into a mini series.

I don't think you'll get anything better than the original film

Doesn’t need remaking. I watched it the other day. It’s still horrible and chilling and still just as effective.

That film terrified me 😱! So grim and depressing .... never watch it again .

Would be great! I loved Threads - I think we have it on DVD somewhere, actually.

AwkwardPaws27 · 30/01/2024 23:02

I think it still hits hard enough without remaking it. I first watched it in my early 20s, decades after it was made, & its left a lasting impression.

It doesn't need remaking, nor does When The Wind Blows.
