‘the nuclear war drama was withheld by the BBC - possibly as a result of political pressure - and remained unshown for nearly twenty years, finally being transmitted on 31st July 1985.’

2015 is the 70th anniversary of the Hiroshima bombing, the 50th anniversary of the filming of The War Game and now 30 years since it was first screened on the BBC.
