Threads – The Armourers Bench

With the recent instability of twitter, now X, I’ve set up accounts on a couple of new social media platforms.

You can find TAB on Threads, at www.threads.net/@armourersbench

We’re also on BlueSky at bsky.app/profile/matthewmoss.bsky.social

You can also now find us on the new the History of Weapons & War app launched by Ian McCollum of Forgotten Weapons. We’re on there along with half a dozen other content creators. It’s a great way to support the work of a number of quality creators who specialise in the history of small arms.

And of course you can still find us on Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, Playeur, and if you’d like to support our work you can find TAB over on Patreon. Thank you!

This week we tackle a truly harrowing film. Arguably director Peter Watkins’ finest work, 1966’s ‘The War Game’. An anti-nuclear war film that takes Watkins’ pseudo-documentary style to its pinnacle to tell the story of what a Britain during a nuclear war might look like. Suppressed by the BBC and government the film still won an Oscar. We are joined by author and host of the Atomic Hobo podcast, Julie McDowall to discuss this very important film.
