h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

This film will always stick in my head, I hope one day to pick up a copy. Scared the hell out of me when I first saw it.

It reminded me of the book The Third World War by Sir John Hackett, almost too real.

Anyone remember what the crap America version of this was called ?

The American 'version' - though it really bears no comparison - was called 'The Day After'. You can now get 'Threads' on VHS and DVD (should you really want to remind yourself just how terrifying/brilliant it was).

anyone remember a nuclear disaster movie around the same time as Threads....only thing i can really remember about it was a guy taking a geiger counter reading of a pond...before he took a swim and ended up with radiation sickness....i`ve searched all over the net for any info and ended up here.....anyone any ideas.??

apologies for the multiple postings....forgive me i`m a newbie...

Sounds to me very much like the BBC's version of Robert O'Brien's book 'Z for Zachariah' (which changed certain details about the original book quite a lot). No idea if you can get it though, but I'm pretty sure that's what it is.
