Deutschland 83 on Channel 4
« on: 14 January 2016, 15:37:56 »

Anybody else watching this on a Sunday night ?

Brings back a lot of memories of sausage land back in the scary eighties and looks at some of the stuff from a German prospective.

From the looks of it, its based on the panic in the east when NATO was playing a war game (Able Archer)

Wiki is your friend and for once, very accurate in this instance  ;)

Yea, you kind of think that a 2+ Hour film about someone being stranded on Mars would get a bit boring, but for once, Matt Damien does a splended job in the film.  :y

Yes we watched the first episode with anticipation. Unfortunately the suspension of disbelief required was too great, so thumbs down from us. :(
