message: Any details on the film's production from the interviews we could add to the article? Mariomassone (talk) 00:16, 8 April 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: Are there more details we could use from the Blu Ray commentary? (Casting, production, plot changes, deleted scenes, special effects, working with Hines, etc.) Mariomassone (talk) 08:37, 24 April 2018 (UTC)
replies: text:  Your article here is quite thorough, I didn't notice any big revelations from Jackson that aren't covered in what you've written. You should definitely get the new DVD, it's the best the film has ever looked. I'm sure if you listen to the commentary, you'll notice things that I didn't, which you can include in a revision of the article here. I updated the details of the Severin Blu-Ray and the Simply Media DVD. Jamesluckard (talk) 19:15, 24 April 2018 (UTC)
replies: text:  I remembered two things Jackson mentions. Sheffield was chosen because it's in the exact center of England, which is the same reason Lawrence, Kansas was chosen for "The Day After." It was also chosen because there was a large series of old houses that the town council intended to demolish, and the production was able to use them and then destroy them for filming.

message: Does anyone have access to the book Barry Hines: Kes, Threads and beyond? The google books preview has some interesting insights into Hine's earlier, more openly political drafts of the plot, including major character changes (Sutton originally being a cartoonishly evil military dictator etc.). It could be used to expand the production section. Mariomassone (talk) 14:26, 27 April 2022 (UTC)

message: People keep adding text saying that the baby Ruth delivers at the end is stillborn.
There is nothing in the movie that says the baby is stillborn.  It could be grossly deformed, stillborn, Siamese, who knows?  The fact that the baby is silent does not mean it is dead.
Since we don't know the baby's status, it is inappropriate to say what it was.
Something should be added to the article code to prevent people from imposing their theories to the article and positioning them as fact. 98.97.37.44 (talk) 04:52, 12 September 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: True, it is left to the viewer's imagination what she sees. I've made that clear and added a footnote from a retrospective article that addresses that very point. Figureofnine (talk • contribs)  16:13, 13 September 2022 (UTC)

thread_title:  The baby at the end 

message: About twelve to thirteen minutes in: we see one of the girls — Alison Kemp, I *think* — doing her homework whilst listening to the radio.
The voice of the US President?
Is actor, Ed Bishop.
But?
Is there any way of verifying that?   And adding him to the credits?

message: Yet again, this has crept back into the plot summary again, despite the reality having been properly cited in the past. The published script states verbatim (page 234):
:136. Interior. Old farm building.
::JANE and SPIKE dive down into the straw and open their bags of loot. JANE snatches at a loaf of bread.
:SPIKE: Giss'n. Come on. Giss'n.
::He grabs at it and they begin to play around. Their wrestling turns sexual, and we hear JANE exclaiming as they have crude intercourse.
That's it. No "rape," no "overpowering," and clearly no intention by the writer that it should be anything other than mutual. Nick Cooper (talk) 14:33, 26 May 2024 (UTC)
