Watched "When the wind blows". An animation about an elderly couple (Jim and Hilda)during the build up to a nuclear attack. Jim follows the instructions in his Protect and Survive leaflet to the letter, fully believing it will keep him and his wife safe. Even after the attack he consults his leaflet and expects help to arrive from the government (which, of course, never happens). I first watched it back in the Eighties when it had more relevance but I really enjoyed rewatching it. The animation, although dated, still has a certain charm and the movie is both funny and tragic.
