Thanks for this @War Precautions. My mother's side of our family is from the North-East of England.

well done for finding this, excellent work!
i hope you post more soon. this channel is a treasure trove!
Of course, in 1980, the NE looked like it had already been nuked...
Thatch-er's Brit-un (said 80s angry stand up comedians's stylee lol)
I lived through it only in the Southwest, which I can assume was at least somewhat better so your statement is accurate
@@baggierols73 The STATE of the jungle canyon ropebridges in that period...
1:16 Strange use of Pink Floyd's 1972 song Childhood's End as the transition music.
UK couldn't give a dam about us
The footage of those bombs being dropped on Japan were haunting.
Those were only 15 kiloton bombs too, considered small by today's standard, almost low yield tactical weapons.
I hate that this becomes more relevant once again, guess people never learn :(
Was that the dulcet tones of Kevin Whately in the opening narration?.

Let's go! Go M.A.D.! Let's go, go, go, go M.A.D.!
The northeast was a target given the chemical works and shipyards, bit like Glasgow we would have been wiped out first
Everywhere is a bloody target in nuclear war. A little country like UK would be obliterated if just few hydrogen bombs were dropped on it.
Seriously was this programme in the 80s.
Iv never came across someone who was roc. Odd considering it’s was big enough organisation
2:50, his shirt has already been nuked!
My eyes … my eyes
👁️👁️ his T Shirt is brighter than any nuclear bomb 🤣🤣
I like how he just uses his jeans pockets for his finger tips!
..."and let's hope we can all find some clean radiation free air left in a few years time. See you next week"
"With a bit of luck"
"top tips" yerrrr allll righty then.
Neck as much broon as possible then stand under the bugger.......................

Truth us.
There wouldn't be a "warning"

It would just be a flash
And vaporised

newcleear bomb! Mackems!!
They'd be reaching for the sun tan lotion and tying knots in handkerchiefs and putting them upon their heads, complaining about the weather.😁
