Anyone got a copy of this on vcd or something? Just been reading up on it, I remember seeing this at school, it scared the living hell out of me for years.

Nope, havn't got it, but agree it scared me shiteless in double periods after lunch when we'd been out having a cheeky smoke.

the pregant woman eating a raw dead radioactive sheep and having a mutant baby was particularly poignant.

BBC pulled the DVD over a year ago. I know coz the inlaws bought one of the last copies ... and it was broken.

Going on Ebay for silly money

Jamie if you get this I would be very interested

Looks like its going to be one I hawk from kazaa or something. Let us know if you do grab a copy though from somewhere.

Post by **jamie** » Mon Jun 07, 2004 8:31 am

Well after a good search around the kazaa network, it looks like noone is sharing a copy.

Post by **Bob_The_Engineer** » Mon Jun 07, 2004 8:42 am

I will request it on BitTorrent and see if anyone replies.

I just made a request on Shareconnector.com

Post by **Rascal** » Mon Jun 07, 2004 10:00 am

It's on Overnet, which is part of the Edonkey network, 6 people are sharing a VCD, well they say it's threads could just be more pr0n

dunno what sort of speed's you'd get with only 6 sharing

Post by **-ReHaB-** » Mon Jun 07, 2004 2:12 pm

I don't have Overnet....

Post by **Rascal** » Mon Jun 07, 2004 2:27 pm

if your posting on shareconnector, then from what i know, whatever client you use, should be picking up the same files, as overnet does, type these into your search function on it, and see what you come up with

Threads.-.The.closest.you'll.ever.want.to.come.to.nuclear.war.avi

Threads-VCD1-1984 BBC Nuclear War Drama(Crystal-Skunk420).mpg

if it turns up goat pr0n, don't blame me / thank me depending on your predilictions

checked on ebay, and some guy in canada is selling dvd's of this for 19.99 but won't post 'em to the U.K or even within canada , only to America, what a doofus

Just found the post you asked about on the dvdforums Mike, I bumped a post from last year, a guy said he had it on vcd

hopefully he is still around and willing to do a trade..

Oh, I installed overnet too, so looks like in about 48 hours I should have both disks. Overnet installed a right load of spyware type hit on to my system too

dammit, you should have unchecked the boxes, they give you as an option when you install it, even with the free DLL, of it, you can have NO spyware installed if you want, just uncheck everything it offers you, I upgraded from build 1.52 to 1.53 , forgot to uncheck and got inundated with crap., so even with upgrades of it, be careful or it'll happen again.

I just ran Adaware, cleaned it right out. Which was nice.

Post by **Rascal** » Mon Jun 07, 2004 4:17 pm

I had to run adaware and spysweeper a coupla times, to wipe out everything that installed itself due to my upgrade cock up. Careful, they seemed persistant buggers with overnet.

Looked on limewire for this.
Found one copy listed as
Threads_-_The_closest_youll_ever_want_to_come_to_nuclear_war(1984).sharereactor.avi

Guess this must be the same copy. I cannot start a download though

Post by **Bob_The_Engineer** » Mon Jun 07, 2004 4:28 pm

Well looks like someone could send me a copy

Maybe Jamie could stick it on his FTP site>?

Post by **jamie** » Thu Jun 10, 2004 4:01 pm

Well, at the minute the 2 disks stand at 525mb out of 601.88 and 527mb out of 700.18. Only thing is, there is noone sharing it currently :/ This could take a while.

ARGH - so near and yet soooo far
