 ON THE 8TH DAY (Monday September 24 at 
 9.30pm) examines a theory propounded bz
 some of the world's leading scientists 
 as to what may happen to the weather in
 the aftermath of a nuclear attack.     
                                        
 They believe that the smoke and dust   
 from a nuclear conflict could blank o4t
 the sun's rays, plunge the nouthezn    
 hemisphere into twilight for weeks and 
 cause temperatures to plummet bz as    
 much as 40C.                           
                                        
 The effects that such a projected      
 temperature change could have on plant 
 and animal life are also diucussjd.
