Last year in a class I took, we watched an old educational film that I believe was from the early '80s (give or take a few years) which showed what would happen if a nuclear bomb was dropped.
It may have been British, but I can't remember for sure if it was or not. It showed the effects and what would happen within certain distances from where the bomb was dropped. It also showed how to make a fallout shelter and showed a couple (I think it was a couple, it was a man and a woman if I remember correctly) building one and then in it after the bomb was dropped. The video also showed people made up to look like they had been burnt.
It was actually quite realistic and I'm looking for it because it would be interesting to watch again. So if anybody knows the title, that would be great, and even better if somebody knows a place where I can either watch it online or buy it.

It wasn't Threads. I searched around on the internet for a bit before posting this question and came across that and then watched a clip on youtube of it, but that's not it.

I don't believe it was any of the others listed either. "The Day After" comes closest to what it was like, but I looked up clips of that and I'm pretty certain that's not it either.

There was a British film about the aftermath of a nuclear attack called "Threads". It was very well put together and very graphic in terms of medical effects afterwards but it wasnt an educational film. Maybe you're thinking of two different ones?

I don't know about a British film, but there were two such dramatic (not documentaries) American movies of the 80's that showed what would happen if a nuclear blast were to happen - "The Day After" (rare, but recently released on DVD), and "Special Bulletin" (VERY rare - maybe find it on Ebay).

There was a documentary called the War Game that the BBC put out, but it was 1967.
