        Seeing Threads on that day as a three-year old has shaped my whole life. Please, BBC, show it again.

        You know what I never watched it as a kid or went back to watch it as an adult. It would have scared the bejesus out of me as a ten year old and probably still would even when I have a morbid fascination for ROC posts and the like and your pod cast 👍Glasgow - WW3 😱
