797 The Wind and the Bomb

First  viewed  :  4  February  1987

This  was  a  short  documentary  about  the  making  of  the  film  version  of  Raymond  Briggs'  cheery  graphic  novel   about  an  old  couple  trying  to  survive  a  nuclear  attack  by  following  the   government  manual   with  predictably  disappointing  results. I  haven't  seen  the  film  so  I  can't  comment too  much  but  I  gather  it  was  a  bit  one  note i.e  how  moronic  to  believe  what  the  government  tell  you.
