The UKs answer to The day after

Uh, yeah, do you have something to say about it?

when the first atmospheric blast hit, it kocks out power. a second blast hits communications and we se a teletype machine go down. wouldnt the first blast take power and comms simultaniously?

There's no sound when the bombs hit

One of the realest parts was the food crisis bit...it got so bad...people began eating rats and other vermin to survive.

NITS AND OTHER PROBLEMS

1. There is virtually NO SOUNDS when the nukes hit.....VERY IMPOSSIBLE.

2. Nobody in the public suspects anything amiss when fire engines are put into hiding, grocery prices go up, etc...despite all the bad news about the world crisis worsening.

3. I doubt very highly that people would "allow" other people to enter their homes without invitation or government orders to steal their food. There would be some gunfire....period.

4. The "typewriter timeline" sequences really aren't necessary. Just tell the story and let the audience figure out what's going on.

5. One of the main characters is an out of wedlock pregnant woman who gives birth after the crisis...and years later...her daughter repeats the same mistake of getting pregnant out of wedlock. What's up with that? Didn't pregnant mom # 1 didn't teach her kid any morals? NICE MOM!

You do realise that this is set in the UK, a country noted for neither its gun culture nor its Bible-thumping attitude to sex?

Well...la dee da
