Yes.
It was a BBC production, and was set in Sheffield.
It was broadcast in the mid-eighties, and depicted the fall out from a nuclear blast.
It is still one of the most chilling and upsetting depictions I have ever seen.
*add - respect to 'lepersan' above. I'd forgotten how enormous the number of casualties would be.

Findings from the 1980 British Government exercise "Square Leg" were used as the basis for projecting the level of destruction and number of casualties in the movie. "Square Leg" was a government project that estimated what would happen in Britain in the event of an actual attack. It projected the mortality rate at 29 million, serious injuries at 7 million and short term survivors at 19 million
