"A Guide to Armageddon" was the other one shown on the BBC, a half-hour QED documentary. It's still on YouTube.

Both are absolutely terrifying.

It's such an amazing film, used to be so hard to find though I don't care for the end part.

What was the American nuclear apocalypse movie? That's the one I saw. Broadly similar in content and cultural effect.

That's it. I kept thinking "The Day After Tomorrow", but I was like, "No, that's that ridiculous climate movie where the world froze in 24 hours."
