Ever wondered why life doesn’t measure to those young grand anticipations? From passion and money to fright and advancement, Charlie Brooker researches a different general subject weekly as this six-part serial tries to explain where it all went wrong and the best way wildly the TELECASTING and flick idealistic disagrees from life’s grisly realness.
Taging the purpose in which the excited daydreaming’s of TELECASTING and the sorry realism of real world collide, the serial utilizes a intermixture of archive footage, sketches and consultations which might have you wiping away teardrops of laughter while nodding in acknowledgement, this means that youll probably have your eye out if you’re not watchful.

"He who would do some great thing in this short life, must apply himself to the work with such a concentration of his forces as to the idle spectators, who live only to amuse themselves, looks like insanity." – John Foster
@Lindelamare A British Army NCO, who was an instructor in Nuclear/Biological/Chemical defence once told me that ‘Threads’ scared even him!
i love how charlies stuff always has awsome music
@doctortehe Good to know.
@lycanfan He is also highly critical (and snarky) about the internet, some types of books, video games and every newspaper (including the Guardian for whom he occasionally writes a column) in Britain in his other stuff. But his brief is television and he is more known for his unique approach to TV criticism so that’s why this stuff concentrates on TV.
‘Cheer up mate, least you got a free draft-excluder out of it’ lololololololol
I love Orlov!
Even Ron Weasley isn’t safe?!! D8
“Simply wouldn’t have happened if he’d have used a wooden kite. Idiot.” LOL!!!! I’m an American, but the UK in general always has some great stuff on TV! Well, somewhat; most American and UK TV(or hybrids thereof, like stuff on Science or Discovery channels, produced and filmed in both places sometimes) is a terrible waste of time, but every now and then, there’s some great stuff! You guys over there are so jaded and cynical and sarcastic, it’s great tho
We need more Charlie Brooker shows like this! Newswipe is only once a year.
17 seconds of pure bliss.
Those kids safety films of the 70s still terrify me.
Does anyone know the music that starts at 7:38 ?
I couldnt ignore that scary news reader either…
As much as I fully understand, and in many ways agree with, the point being made here, why is it only television on the chopping block, when just as easily any of the other various media formats can and have been utilized just as horrifically? Oh well, at least when it comes to fiction, I’ll take books and TV over anything else any day.
“a nuclear bomb could cause millions of pounds worth of improvement to Sheffield’s architecture”LMAO XD
Threads is literally the worst thing I’ve ever seen. I’ve lived a sheltered life, but still…
‘Joy and Eric should survive.’hmm
’atleast, for 17 seconds.’oh 
Epic.
Check out Little John from Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves getting electrocuted. Nice work!!!
1:51 Nice t***.
