Lines: 19 From: Alan GreigYes THREADS is a British production (BBC to be precise) although its only about a year old (if that), not two or three. Its centred around the UK city Shefield and differs from films such as "The Day After" in that it follows life through for several years after the holocaust. It's certainly available in the UK on VHS/Beta but in PAL colour format. Whether you can get it in NTSC colour is a question for the BBC. I suggest anyone who wants to know writes to the BBC video dept in London. That address should be enough to reach them. The film is normally classed along with the other BBC production, "The War Game" which was shot in black and white in the 60's but not shown until 1984 because it was considered to give a too horific depiction of Nuclear War. Maybe they should have altered the laws of Physics for the film. E=m/c^2 ? Alan Greig -------
