          • Trivia
            David Bowie was originally slated to record several songs for the film but was only able to contribute the title song due to time constraints regarding his then-upcoming album "Never Let Me Down." Roger Waters contributed to most of the film's songs instead.

            [dying of radiation poisoning]

            Hilda: Shall we... pray, dear?

            Jim: Pray?

            Hilda: Yes.

            Jim: All right then... But... to who?

            Hilda: God, of course.

            Jim: Oh, oh, oh, I see... Yes, yes... Would that be the correct thing?

            Hilda: It can't do any harm, dear.

            Jim: Ok, um... Here it goes... Dear sir...

            Hilda: No, that's wrong, dear.

            Jim: Well, uh... How, how do you start?

            Hilda: Our God...

            Jim: -our help, in ages past...

            Hilda: That's it, dear. Keep it up.

            Jim: Almighty and most merciful father...

            Hilda: That's good.

            Jim: Dearly beloved... we are gathered... unto thee. I shall fear no evil. Thy rod and thy staff comfort me all the days of my life.

            [beginning to suffocate]

            Jim: Lay me down in green pastures... I... I can't remember anymore.

            Hilda: That was nice, dear. I liked the bit about the green pastures.

            Jim: Oh, yes, yes. Into the valley of the shadow of death...

            Hilda: Oh, no more love. No more.

            Jim: ...rode the six hundred.

            [they die]

          • Crazy credits
            After the end credits, Morse code can be heard in the background. The code, when translated, means "MAD". MAD is an abbreviation for the term "Mutually Assured Destruction".
          • Alternate versions
            From the Castilian Spanish dubbing, Fernando Rey and Irene Gutiérrez Caba were cast to be the voices of the main characters.

          9/10
          It's very simple: they drop the big one - you die
          There are very few films that attempt to realistically describe life after the bomb. If it is a Hollywood production, there has to be an optimistic ending - take "the day after" with a simple but uplifting message: some will die, there will be personal tragedy, yes - but we'll make it under the guidance of our government.

          This film takes a different approach: the format (animated) and the setting (rural England) perfectly match the soothing government messages: build a shelter, keep some food and drink - you'll be alright.

          But then the story is continued through to the (very painful) end: there is no more government, there is no more mailman, there is

          no more you....
