It's a few weeks since I finally watched the last half of Threads, but seeing as how it took me 27 years between watching the first episode and the second, I'm figuring that a few weeks makes very little odds.
Most of you are way too young to have seen it the first time around, but I was (does the maths. LOL I suck at maths) 12 in 1984, so I was exactly the right age for it to terrify me more than anything I've ever seen, before or since, which is well demonstrated by the fact that it's remained seared into my memory and imagination for a quarter of a century. And, well, I've been meaning to watch the rest of it ever since it was released on DVD, if only to just get it out of my system and move on.
The idea of actually watching something that scared me so much, though, seemed more than a little masochistic, so to lessen the impact as much as possible I did what I never usually do and spoilered myself completely for the rest of the story. It did the job because, either because the fear of full-scale nuclear war has receded significantly or knowing what happened before I saw it reduced its power to terrify and shock, I actually managed to see it without having nightmares (not something I managed the first time).

I'm going to post a link to the download below, for those of you who are feeling curious or masochistic, but, for fair warning (if the foregoing wasn't enough) here are my thoughts, half a life-time later.
First off, the fact that I watched it on a bad quality download and on a tiny laptop screen, while again it reduced the impact, also served to hide any failings of special effects and the comparatively poor production values of 80s television, because it's still as entirely plausible and harrowing as it was when it was first screened. Yes, it's dated, but only in the way that TV from the time always does - the hair, the clothes, the cars, Leslie Judd playing a newsreader! - and obviously the flashes of foreign news that play mostly in the background for the first half are dated by the Cold War references.
