BBC Two history series on Britain and the Cold War, looking at the period from the end of the 1950s to the mid-1970s.
This takes us back to the strange years of the Cold War. These are the years in which we were both more secure and prosperous - and at the same time, lived everyday with the very real possibility of nuclear annihilation.
Dominic looks at the frontline of the conflict as a newly prosperous Britain of consumerism was pitched against the Soviet ideal of communism.
Dominic plunders the archive and music of the late 1970s and the 1980s to bring to life an era in which the end of the world seemed a very real possibility, years in which our leaders crusaded as never before.
