swede1973 Posted March 20, 2016 Share Posted March 20, 2016 The guy who wrote Kes has died aged 76. Have to watch the film later as it is a very good film.

Let's not forget he also did the screenplay for Threads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blake Posted March 20, 2016 Share Posted March 20, 2016 Kes was the best of all the 'kitchen sink' films even though it came right at the end of the cycle. One of those times where the film is even better, than the book upon which it is based. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lex Luthor Posted March 20, 2016 Share Posted March 20, 2016 I didn't watch Threads until I was in my twenties. I'm glad about this, because watching it as a child, I think I would have found it terrifying. Kes was a masterpiece. Sad to hear this news.

Remember reading kes at school, quite upsetting ending. I'd probably find it more upsetting now, soft old sod I am now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
