#Domesday #DoomsdayIf you've been playing Fallout London, you might like to watch the original secret government films that helped inspire its imagery:

The videos were intended to tell people what to do in the event of a nuclear war, and would only have been shown on TV if an attack was imminent. They were made in secret and never officially released.
However, they were leaked to the media in 1980 and became part of pop culture as they were simultaneously absurd and horrifying.

We did #ProtectAndSurvive drills in my school in the eighties in the UK, if that helps. It was when Ronnie Reagan was wittering on about his "Star Wars" stuff that would set Europe on fire to protect the US Heartland. Real reassuring stuff from the Leader of the Free World.
Really not sure which is more surreal about this film - the rather down-home title or the breezy intro music.....its darned catchy.....
"A How-To-Do-It project"
...and remember...."No home in America is modern without a family fallout shelter"

Those of us in the UK who watched TV in the late 70s will most likely remember the government's public information series 'Protect and Survive'.
They were criticised at the time as giving the impression that a nuclear attack was survivable and therefore made such an attack more likely.
