Abstract

Clay interviews artists, politicians, historians, sociologists, and Nobel Peace Prize winning NGO director about whether or not we ought to be more concerned about the threat of nuclear war, given that the Bulletin of Atomic Scientists' 'Doomsday clock' is closer to midnight (armageddon) than it has been since 1952. The programme suggests that the risk of nuclear war has increased partly as a result of instability in potential conflict zones (the India/Pakistan boarder, North Korea), of 'broken arrow' incidents (accidents involving nuclear weapons), and of cyber warfare.
