Editing Guidelines

Please remember these guidelines when editing a film article:

If a non-film article already exists with the name of the film that you are trying to create an article for, disambiguate and use (film) in the title: Film Title (film)
- For more information see: Wikipedia:Naming conventions (films)
When writing an article about a particular film, the general format should be a concise lead section, followed by a plot summary of no more than 900 words, production details, a cast list, a reception section, and references.
Create an Infobox that tells all pertinent information about the film.

[edit] Song

[edit] "Protect and Survive" name - first used when?

This eBay auction shows that the name was used on official documents as far back as 1950. Is this as early as it gets? 81.153.111.37 05:15, 1 December 2007 (UTC)

The book you refer to is not a 1950s training manual (as it makes out), but a recent book cashing in on the phrase. I think it's a collection of the original 1950s manuals, but these were not emblazoned with 'Protect and Survive'! I've noticed it causing some confusion and consternation among Cold War enthusiasts. The 1970s/80s Protect and Survive was the first to use the term to my knowledge. --taras 22:37, 1 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Weird music

"Each [instalment] closed with a memorably unsettling electronic musical phrase." <shudder> I recall that from Threads. If anyone has an audio sample, could we include it on this page? 68Kustom (talk) 06:05, 5 April 2008 (UTC)

I have a smaple of it somewhere, I use it as a text message/ring tone on my phone, but IIRC it's still under copyright to whoever made it (possibly BBC Radiophonics). I don't think we'd get away 'fair use' for it either. --RedHillian (talk) 21:53, 5 April 2008 (UTC)
