I need help with the title of a movie, please!
All I can remember is that:
The story took place in England in a sleepy village/town.
The British army and special forces were involved I cannot remember if
Any american troops or specialists were there.
There was a plague or virus spreading that came from aliens or alien
Phenomena, no cure or way to stop it. I think it involved influencing
Their thoughts, behavior, and brain function.
The only way to stop it was exploding a nuclear bomb(s) at the very end
Of the movie.
The very last scene was a woman (scientist? Doctor? Army?) who finally
Was infected going outside after everyone deserted and evacuated the
Town(s) and she looked up and then white light explosion (bomb going
Off)
I do not recall monsters, or creatures in it; more of a could happen in
Real life senario-sort of.
This played for several hours one Sunday, so I'm thinking it was a
British mini series of some sort and not a weekly TV program; or perhaps
It was just a long movie.
I have searched under British movies, British mini series, nuclear and
Disaster movies/mini series and am at a loss of where to go next. Please
Help!
It was slow moving, but well done and a pretty good story line.
Thanks!

Got it...

The IMDb description doesn't give much, but Wikipedia is spot on (But is a spolier).

"Invasion: Earth" (1998) (mini) (http://us.imdb.com/title/tt0140743/)
Invasion: Earth (TV series) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Invasion:_Earth_%28TV_series%29)
