Grim Britannia
- Thread starter k-punk
- Start date
Fairly low on incident (though you get to see undercover drug squad in their 'covert' jean jacket and Che Guevara outfits), but this is a decent reminder of just how filthy metal fans used to look (take it as a compliment) - makes the average crowd down The Black Hart look like a Persil ad. Also, have to give it to the plod, one of them does a neat reverse manoeuvre when they get hemmed in by a street of lairy rockers.
Great shots in part 2 where the flying cans and bottles look like a swarm of midges. Take your lady somewhere else, pal!

the original 1978 version of BUSTED! The sensational life-story of an undercover hippie cop has some funny moments like when he goes undercover at Reading festival and needs a tent so he borrows one from "stores" only to pitch it up and everyone could see "PROPERTY OF HENDON POLICE COLLEGE" stencilled on all sides...

BBC had Threads on the other night.
Threads
Grim drama telling the story of a nuclear strike on Britain through the eyes of two families, tracing the events leading up to the war and the decade of devastation that follows.www.bbc.co.uk
when the bbc knew itself and made programs worth watching
Threads was a real mindfuck - no escape anywhere - and one of the few to depict such a disaster at scale so fluently
you observe diseases like Ebola hovering in key global hotspots but rabies was portrayed and detailed in a similar sense with The Mad Death albeit through a domestic lens

I love the way that Threads starts with the provincial familiarity of a cheaply made daytime soap or similar - the beginning gives not the slightest hint of the unrelenting horrendous (and for once it is actually le mot juste) grimness to follow. A masterpiece of terrifying nastiness that all kids should be made to watch, if only beccause I was.

One of the guys in my five-a-side team back in England overturned his van when he was over the limit. The first guy at the scene comes up to him trapped and hanging in an upside-down van and he was all "Fucking hell mate, you OK? I'll call an ambulance!" and Bruce says "Nah mate, don't do that I'm over the limit" and the guy went "Oh fair enough guv, I'll leave it then" and just walked off leaving him - next person to show did call the emergency services though and he did lose his licence, which was a bit of a problem cos his job was as a van driver.
Same guy - I said this before here I think but.... - got ticketed by a traffic warden who couldn't read English well enough to understand that the sign he was parked next to said that although parking was banned in general at that spot, it was allowed at certain times - including right then. A huge argument ensued with the warden insisting a ticket was due. It ended with him trying to put one on the windscreen and Bruce driving off, in the process of which he hit the guy and knocked him over leaving him lying on his back like a turtle. I asked if there were any repercussions and Bruce said "I reckon as he was lying there and saw the sign from a new angle he must have thought 'Oooohh yeah, now i see it, it does say you can park there at this time' and decided not to follow it up".
