Any good post-apocalyptic media to watch? Preferably before 2000

Other than the Last Train and Threads, the only other one I can think of is When the Wind Blows (wiki link), if you like your dystopian bleakness wrapped in a gentle animated veneer.
1981 TV mini series The day of the triffids https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0081850/mediaviewer/rm737447936
And the 1963 movie before that
The Changes was decent. Also, after 2000 and more of a comedy but Zomboat was pretty good.
Edit: Also, it's from New Zealand not Britain, but The Quiet Earth is good.
Try The Bed Sitting Room from 1969
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0064074/
I'm not sure if I'd call it good but it's not terrible.

28 days later ... almost before 2000

The original 1970s “Survivors”. Avoid the awful remake.
All of the film adaptations of The War of The Worlds are apparently American, but the novel is British, if that'll be adequately British for you.
If have no idea if the movies are any good, but the novel is.

Tripods is a post-invasion setting. Though the third series was never made and it’s very very 80s. You can read the final novel for the ending.
