@Jamesluckard: Are there more details we could use from the Blu Ray commentary? (Casting, production, plot changes, deleted scenes, special effects, working with Hines, etc.) Mariomassone (talk) 08:37, 24 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
@Mariomassone: Your article here is quite thorough, I didn't notice any big revelations from Jackson that aren't covered in what you've written. You should definitely get the new DVD, it's the best the film has ever looked. I'm sure if you listen to the commentary, you'll notice things that I didn't, which you can include in a revision of the article here. I updated the details of the Severin Blu-Ray and the Simply Media DVD. Jamesluckard (talk) 19:15, 24 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
@Mariomassone: I remembered two things Jackson mentions. Sheffield was chosen because it's in the exact center of England, which is the same reason Lawrence, Kansas was chosen for "The Day After." It was also chosen because there was a large series of old houses that the town council intended to demolish, and the production was able to use them and then destroy them for filming.

The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review after discussing it on the closer's talk page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.
Threads → Threads (film) – WP:ASTONISH no clear primary topic given that Threads (Sheryl Crow album) got 4,942 views (though that might be recentism) compared with the film's 12,959 views which probably doesn't meet "much more likely than any other" which would probably be more like 10x. Thread (computing) also gets 10,369, Screw thread gets 9,755, Thread (network protocol) gets 2,650 and Thread (yarn) gets 1,752 [[1]]. By long term significance if anything many of the terms titled in the singular would be primary if anything. See similar cases like Cars, Cats, Bones, Bookends, Pixies and Parachutes which no only does the specific meanings not take precedence, the general meanings do. I propose that like Dockers and Cuts we redirect "Threads" to Thread per WP:DABCOMBINE since there are quite a few meanings that would be on both DAB pages if split. While its true that per WP:PLURALPT users can be expected to use the singular more often they are still full matches and anyway it gives the examples of Cars and Bookends redirecting to the singular named article. Also as noted in the Bookends, Suites, Dockers and Peanuts discussions (and probably others) we can't distinguish between "threads" and "Threads" since the 1st letter is always capitalized in titles even though we can with the likes of Common sense and Common Sense. And even if we could we can't tell if its at the start of a sentence since we can see that in the Thread (computing) article the plural term appears over 100x and in some cases it appears as "Threads" (when its at the start of a sentence). WP articles are generally out of context (unlike WT entries) and thus an initial capital could easily be expected anyway. Also note that the category is at Category:Threads (computing) which also shows that its common for things to be plural even though we don't in the article space, see WP:PRIMARYREDIRECT. A Google Images search for threads returns most results for Thread (yarn) which is very well known and the plural form appears 14x in the article. Threads (TV series) is another option. Crouch, Swale (talk) 11:28, 10 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose - It's a TV play or drama, not a "film," which in British-English is generally reserved for feature films. There is already a link to Thread (disambiguation) at the top of the page, so it's not like anyone is going to get "lost." Nick Cooper (talk) 12:42, 10 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
It could be moved to something like Threads (TV play) or Threads (drama) but others in Category:1984 television films use film anyway. I have no objection to a different qualifier. Only a link to the DAB would be appropriate if this was clearly primary but it isn't. Instead people searching for "Threads" (or "threads") should be taken straight to the DAB where they can find the other uses and click on the link for this article if that's what they still want, see WP:NOPRIMARYTOPIC. Crouch, Swale (talk) 17:28, 10 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Support per nomination, Ortizesp, Erik and Netoholic. As for the parenthetical qualifier "film", television films, especially those designed to run in a two-hour time slot are indeed qualified as "(film)" especially, as in this case, when the production is originated on film, rather than kinescoped from a live broadcast or videotaped. —Roman Spinner(talk • contribs)15:19, 11 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Support - the album is enough to split it. BTW, WP:PLURAL all but forces categories to be plural, so that argument doesn't really apply. The rest do, though. RedSlash23:40, 14 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Does anyone have access to the book Barry Hines: Kes, Threads and beyond? The google books preview has some interesting insights into Hine's earlier, more openly political drafts of the plot, including major character changes (Sutton originally being a cartoonishly evil military dictator etc.). It could be used to expand the production section. Mariomassone (talk) 14:26, 27 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
People keep adding text saying that the baby Ruth delivers at the end is stillborn.
There is nothing in the movie that says the baby is stillborn. It could be grossly deformed, stillborn, Siamese, who knows? The fact that the baby is silent does not mean it is dead.
Since we don't know the baby's status, it is inappropriate to say what it was.
Something should be added to the article code to prevent people from imposing their theories to the article and positioning them as fact. 98.97.37.44 (talk) 04:52, 12 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
The 2017 reviews from these publications are utterly histrionic and overwrought, and quoting them makes the entire section look foolish. Leaving the EU is not remotely the same as nuclear holocaust and you don't have to be an advocate of it to see that.
I do hope Wikipedia editors one day get round to deleting this sort of drivel. It's endemic throughout the website - silly hot takes whose inclusion owes more to the political beliefs of individual editors than devotion to Wikipedia's mission. 80.189.187.221 (talk) 20:08, 5 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Including comments from critics on the contemporary relevance of the drama does not in any way go against Wikipedia's principles, nor does it show bias for or against Brexit. There exists a review that compares the events of the film to Brexit's economic impact.
You may think that comparison is ridiculous, and I would agree with you, but that such a review exists and is noted does not violate WP:NPOV. The whole point of that section is to show critical consensus, and if that's what critics are saying, Wikipedia can't exactly sidestep the biases of those critics by contriving opposing views. This "drivel" should not be deleted simply because you disagree with it. Editor510drop us a line, mate10:57, 2 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Yet again, this has crept back into the plot summary again, despite the reality having been properly cited in the past. The published script states verbatim (page 234):
136. Interior. Old farm building.
JANE and SPIKE dive down into the straw and open their bags of loot. JANE snatches at a loaf of bread.
SPIKE: Giss'n. Come on. Giss'n.
He grabs at it and they begin to play around. Their wrestling turns sexual, and we hear JANE exclaiming as they have crude intercourse.
That's it. No "rape," no "overpowering," and clearly no intention by the writer that it should be anything other than mutual. Nick Cooper (talk) 14:33, 26 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
