Join Lee and Dave for a lighthearted look at the world of TV, Film and Popular Culture from yesteryear that has since been considered problematic. This week we struggle to find anything uplifting to say about the TV film 'Threads' from 1984. Although, considering its subject matter is nuclear armageddon, we'd challenge anyone to put a positive slant on it! The source of many a child of the 80's nightmares, 'Threads' is an unrelenting study on what can happen when two superpowers collide. We promise we'll be funny funny funny next week! That's if we're all still here.........
Also, Lee takes a tumble. And Dave is doing nothing unsavoury whatsoever with a sheep!
