That wasn't a miniseries, it was a TV movie called "Special Edition". The network ran disclaimers across the bottom of the screen all during it so that folks just tuning in wouldn't think it was a real news show.

The story was that some 'anti-nuke' radicals detonated a nuke on a navy ship in Charleston harbor. It was another in the anti-nuke movies that proliferated during the Reagan administration.

Hey, what was the name of that "reality" mini-series where it was videotaped as though it was live news broadcasts and a terrorist nuke went off in some american port city? It was about twelve years ago.

It didn't work either considering that charlston's telephone grid locked up for hours during and after that show.

I have that on VHS at home actually. Not a bad film.

Of course nothing beats "The Day After"; that is a classic piece of anti-nuke propaganda.
