Could Britain Survive a War?
A Third World War is possible during the next 18 months. That's the view of one respected international analyst in tonight's documentary. A Soviet general replies: ' There will be no winner in this war.'
How many targets are there in the UK? Could Britain's services fight back? How many millions could die? Where do government ministers and officials go in war? Where is your shelter?
The answers to these and many other questions are in this programme. And issues arising from it will be examined in a discussion at 10.15. Presented by Christopher Lee
