00:00The Lone Ranger
01:30Is it Rob?
01:32Is it Rob?
01:33Yes?
01:35Oh come on I've got pictures on.
01:37It's Peter.
01:38He's ringing from school.
01:40Oh come on.
01:48Peter?
01:49Hello darling.
01:51Are you alright?
01:53Oh good.
01:55Oh yes we're fine.
01:56Dad is in London but he'll be home this evening.
01:59What?
02:01No I've just been playing tennis with that new machine.
02:04Well what's happening there?
02:09Gosh that sounds exciting.
02:11Just like being under siege.
02:15Darling listen will you call me before the end of the week?
02:18No no I'm not worried.
02:19It's just that they've closed off the village school.
02:21And I thought they might be doing the same and sending you all home.
02:22Yes.
02:27Yes all right.
02:27No we'll be in then.
02:29Yes all right darling.
02:30I'll talk to you at the end of the week.
02:32All right darling.
02:34Yes well take care of yourself.
02:37Bye darling.
02:38Bye.
02:44I could do with a cold drink Mrs. Transson.
02:47Is he all right?
02:49Oh yes he's fine.
02:51Sounds like they're all enjoying it actually.
02:53They've closed the school off.
02:55The tradesmen deliver the goods at the gate and the boys go down and collect.
02:58Oh very sensible.
03:01No sign of it there yet.
03:03No.
03:04Well Peter says there are a dozen or so boys in the school sound.
03:07But Maitre thinks it's some sort of stomach bug.
03:09Nothing to worry about.
03:10Well that's good.
03:12Well if they're lucky they might miss the worst of it.
03:15Yes I hope so.
03:17Oh goodness I'm Miss Dash.
03:19I'm picking David up from the early train.
03:23Mrs. T would you be allowed and turn off the tennis trainer?
03:25I'd like to go home for a couple of days Mrs. Grant.
03:30There's nothing wrong with that.
03:31Have you heard from your sister?
03:33Well I tried to ring her this morning and there was no reply.
03:37So I tried again about an hour ago and there was a funny sort of signal.
03:41I got the operator.
03:43She said there's a big breakdown in the South London area.
03:46No calls going through at all.
03:48Well that doesn't mean anything bad necessarily does it?
03:50They said on the radio today that all the exchanges were short-staffed.
03:53I know but the phone was ringing this morning and she didn't answer.
03:58Doris never goes out in the morning.
04:01Yes well of course you must go then.
04:02Just to set your mind at rest.
04:04Now you get ready and I'll run into the station.
04:06We'll be in time for the twenty past four.
04:07Hello?
04:16Hello?
04:18Hello?
04:19There should be the news on at four.
04:49It's Dr. Gordon's car.
04:54He's stopping.
05:00Hello, Joe.
05:09Abby.
05:10Are you and David home tonight?
05:12Yes.
05:13May I come by about nine?
05:15I want to give you both a shot of the flu vaccine.
05:17Oh, that's marvelous.
05:18I've been meaning to ask you about that.
05:20Listen, why don't you bring Margaret?
05:21We'll have a drink.
05:22Oh, she's not feeling any too grand at the moment.
05:24Anyway, I won't be able to stop.
05:25I'm trying to get around the whole district
05:27before it gets too serious.
05:29Have you had many cases of it yet?
05:31I've got a couple of dozen who are showing symptoms.
05:33But I think they're just trying to be fashionable.
05:35Anyway, I'll give you all the news tonight.
05:37All right.
05:38About nine, then.
05:39Bye, Joe.
05:40Bye-bye.
05:48Why don't you worry, Mrs. Transon.
05:50I'm sure Doris will be fine.
05:52London freight's in if you want it.
05:54You'll have to hurry.
05:56You'd better get your tickets to the other end.
06:00I'll probably be back tomorrow, but I'll try and ring.
06:03I'll go on quickly.
06:04And don't worry.
06:05Everything will be all right.
06:06Bye.
06:07Bye.
06:15I must be slow.
06:17Well, that's not the 4.20.
06:19That one should have been leaving here at 2.15.
06:21And what about the trains from London?
06:23Are they leaving on time?
06:24Well, there's been nothing on the downline for a couple of hours.
06:27They don't know where they are in Paddington.
06:29Can't get any sense out of them.
06:31As far as we can tell, only about half the crew's turned up to work.
06:35We don't even know which services have been cancelled.
06:39Made a right old mess, if you ask me.
06:41Everything all gone to pot.
06:43And on top of that, even the telephones are jammed up.
06:46Oh, yes, that reminds me.
06:47I want to report a fault on our phone.
06:52That's no good.
06:54They've had a order too.
06:55It has been all afternoon.
06:57Look, I'm expecting my husband on the 4.45.
06:59Have you any idea what it's like?
07:00Your guess is as good as mine.
07:02Timetables don't mean anything today.
07:04Everything's all gone to pot.
07:06The motoring organizations say that massive jams are building up on roads throughout the country.
07:07The Metropolitan Police advise drivers to delay their homeward journeys for as long as possible.
07:38And now news from other world capitals.
07:41New York is still without electric power, 24 hours after the breakdown.
07:46It is estimated that half the city's workforce are affected, and the governor has declared a state of emergency.
07:52It is estimated that half the state of emergency.
07:53Sources in both Rome and Paris report growing concern amongst the medical authorities about the rapid spread of the virus.
07:58The World Health Organization have issued...
08:02Oh, you're soaking wet.
08:03Come on, take this.
08:04It might bring the fever down a bit.
08:09I thought you'd had the injection.
08:10Didn't they give everybody in your office a shot?
08:11What's the matter?
08:12Lumps.
08:13My arms.
08:14Do they help when you touch them?
08:15I'm so...
08:16I'm so cold.
08:17I don't know.
08:18I'm so...
08:19You're not.
08:20I'm so wearing...
08:21Oh, you're soaking wet.
08:22Come on, take this.
08:23It might bring the fever down a bit.
08:25I thought you'd had the injection.
08:26Didn't they give everybody in your office a shot?
08:30Oh.
08:31What's the matter?
08:32Lumps.
08:33My arms.
08:34Do they help when you touch them?
08:37I'm so...
08:38I'm so cold.
08:47Oh you're burning. I'm so cold. I'm going to get the doctor to look at you.
09:05It's still off. I'll go around to the surgery. If he's not there I'll see if I can find Andrew at the hospital.
09:13Even if he can't come himself he might be able to give me something for you.
09:18Don't leave me Jane. I won't be long love. You try and get some sleep if you can. I won't be long.
09:43How are you good here?
09:49Are you all right?
09:51Yes. I just dropped off. I've been here since about four.
09:57By what time is it now?
09:58About half past eight. I've had a hell of a time getting here you know.
10:01There wasn't anything moving out of Paddington at all.
10:04I had to get a lift up to Slough and then a train up to Twyford and then a bus.
10:08You wouldn't believe her. I've been traveling for about six or seven hours.
10:13Darling you must be exhausted.
10:15I'm too angry to be exhausted.
10:17I'm too angry to be exhausted.
10:38The radio said there were bad traffic jams.
10:42Bad?
10:43In the city they were bumper to bumper.
10:46Tailback must have been miles long.
10:49Well
10:50I've never seen anything like it.
10:55It'll take them literally days to get things sorted out.
10:58Not that I saw anybody doing anything about it.
11:00Well never mind.
11:03You're at home now darling.
11:06Yes.
11:07Well I'm going to stay here until they get things organized.
11:10I'm not going through another
11:12journey like I've been through today.
11:16Attention.
11:17Attention please.
11:18There has been a major power failure on some of the London sections of the region.
11:25It is possible there will be many considerable delays on both up and down line traffic.
11:33Passengers are advised to find alternative forms of travel.
11:38Attention please.
11:39Oh excuse me.
12:04Oh just ask the pedestals would you?
12:05Um
12:06Andrew! Andrew! Jenny, what are you doing here? I went to Dr. Weston's surgery. They said he was
12:18here. Pat's sick. Oh, no. I think she's very ill. Well, look, I'm sorry, love, but you're not going
12:24to get anybody to come out and see her tonight. But she really is bad. Fever, and she's got sort
12:29of lumps under her arms. She really does need a doctor. Now, look, Jen. I mean, we're snowed under
12:35her. We're so understaffed, we've had to stop admitting new patients. But I mean, you can
12:39see this. There's not a bed in the place. You're turning people away. Yes, and as far as I know,
12:44it's the same in all the other hospitals. I mean, our people are going down with it as fast as the
12:47patients. Most of the GPs in the district have had to come into work on the wars. Well, how long
12:52does the attack last? I mean, flu isn't... It is not flu. Oh, yeah, we're giving people jabs. We might as
13:00well squirt water in to brawl a goody stuff. The home secretary has orders to keep up the
13:05infection. Try and stop the panic. Panic? I know there have been some deaths. I heard it on the
13:11radio, but not enough to cause a panic. It's been played down. I mean, we've had 70 deaths.
13:1670? It could be double or treble, that number by the morning. We took in our first cases about
13:21six days ago. That seems to be the time it takes from infection. About six days. Oh, from what you
13:29say about Pat's symptoms. She must have had it that long. Can't you just come around and see her? There
13:35must be something you could give her. Look, I'll try and grab half an hour later on, okay? First chance
13:40I'll wait for you. Is there anything I can do to help here? You bet there is. Look, we need all the
13:45help we can get. By the way, I saw Joe Gordon today, darling. He wants to call in tonight and give us a shot
13:51of the flu vaccine. It's a waste of time. I don't see why. It may not give us a hundred
13:57percent protection, but at least it's better than nothing. I don't think it is a flu virus.
14:04Well, what then? Well, we've had flu epidemics before, but I mean, I don't think there was one
14:10office in London today where everyone turned up for work. Oh dear.
14:21Are we going to eat? Hmm? Oh, yes, of course. Why don't you come and talk to me while I make
14:31it? Bacon and eggs, all right?
14:33Oh, I talked to Cameron this morning. Do you know he's got an agent in Hong Kong?
14:57Anyway, he was telling me, of course, the Chinese government has clamped down on the news,
15:01but he was saying that there are rumours that millions have died there. Isn't it odd? You
15:09talk about millions dying in India and China has no impact at all. There was nothing on
15:14any of the news bulletins today. Some people have died in Rome, apparently.
15:18There's nothing on the dresser.
15:29I spoke to Peter today. He's fine.
15:33Yes, I know. He, um, telephoned me after he's spoken to you.
15:37What for?
15:38Well, actually, I'm sworn to secrecy. All I'm allowed to say is that, uh, seeing that he's
15:46confined to school, I've been assigned a top-secret mission concerning your birthday present.
15:52Oh, that's sweet.
15:55Now, where's Radio 4 on this?
15:58Third button.
16:01Well, it's nothing.
16:02I'll try going up the dial.
16:03There was a bad epidemic of something about the time of the First World War, wasn't there?
16:09Hmm. Yes, that was flu.
16:12Uh, 1918, I think.
16:15You know, 20 million people died from that.
16:16I don't think it could happen nowadays with modern drugs on that scale, do you?
16:20Here's something.
16:30No, I can't make that happen.
16:32Oh.
16:33Have a freshener.
16:36Hmm.
16:38Thanks.
16:42How bad do you think it is?
16:47Well, it's pretty widespread.
16:50Pretty disruptive.
16:52Today was an example.
16:54I don't see how we're going to carry on business.
16:55It's going to take ages to catch up.
16:59Oh, it could burn itself out.
17:01Oh, yes, but judging from the chaos today, it's going to take a while to get back to normal.
17:07London really wasn't possible.
17:10I mean, it doesn't happen if there's a bad snowfall or a rail strike.
17:13It all takes time, but it gets a job sorted out in the end.
17:19Oh, yes, yes, I suppose so.
17:21Aren't you eating?
17:22No, I'm going to have some cheese.
17:30You know, I never thought what happens to a city.
17:33What do you mean?
17:34Well, if it all breaks down, all at the same time, there's no power.
17:41There's no lighting or cooking.
17:44And food, even if you get it into the city, you can't distribute it.
17:47And there's water, sewage, things like that.
17:54You know, it just never occurred to me when I lived in London.
17:59The city is like a great big pampered baby.
18:02With thousands of people feeding it and cleaning it and making sure it's all right.
18:07Pampered baby?
18:08Look, if things really get as bad as all that, I'm sure they'll declare a state of emergency or something.
18:18Call out the troops.
18:20Anyway, we're all right living in the country.
18:23Got a deep freeze full of food.
18:25Big open fires in case the central heating goes off.
18:29We'll manage.
18:33Oh, damn it.
18:35Do you think it's just us or the whole area?
18:38Do you want to get out of here?
18:50Not just the flat, I mean life.
18:52She's dead.
18:53Now, into the country if you can.
18:54Now, just take a few things.
18:56You might have to walk.
18:57I shouldn't have left her.
18:59She must have been so frightened all on her own.
19:01Now, you should get started as soon as you can and take any food that you've got in.
19:05Don't you feel anything?
19:07Two years.
19:08You've been having an affair with her for two years.
19:10She's dead.
19:10Now, you just listen to me.
19:12Now, Jenny, listen to me.
19:27I've got the disease.
19:32Now, I've worked it out that I picked up the infection about three days ago.
19:37Now, that roughly gives me three more days before it hits its peak.
19:41And then, well, I don't know what my chances are.
19:44Now, you've been exposed to it.
19:46I imagine everybody in London has.
19:49You might have it too.
19:50Now, look, I've watched you tonight.
19:52You've not shown any symptoms, but, well, that's no guarantee.
19:56How will I know?
19:57Well, you'll know all right.
19:58I mean, you've seen enough of it tonight.
20:00You see, you could be one of the lucky ones, but, you see, in every disease there are certain people who seem to have a, well, it's a natural immunity.
20:08They can be in direct contact with it and never get touched.
20:11Now, look, I've got to go back to the hospital.
20:16I'll come with you.
20:17Now, Jenny, please, why don't you listen to what I say now?
20:20I have told you to get out of London.
20:23But if I've already been exposed, what does it matter?
20:25What difference does it make where I am?
20:27Because if the death rate keeps accelerating at this speed, we're not going to be able to bury our dead.
20:31There could be cholera, typhoid, and God knows what else.
20:35We have had one survival, Jen.
20:37In all the cases, we have admitted only one person has lived beyond a crisis point.
20:42But they'll find something, won't they?
20:44They'll find a cure.
20:46They're not going to let millions of people die.
20:48It is a mutant virus, Jenny.
20:50And not yet identified.
20:52Now, with the speed this thing is travelling, we have no way of stopping it.
20:56In a few days, the dead will outnumber the living.
21:01The cities will be like open cesspits.
21:04Now, get out, Jen.
21:07You could have a chance.
21:11I am sorry about that.
21:21Darling, do you think we should get Peter out of school?
21:37No, I think he's all right.
21:42I think the school's been very sensible.
21:54Well, later if things get tricky.
21:58Come on.
22:09He's fine.
22:12Stop worrying.
22:14Get off to sleep.
22:19A little bit hot.
22:21Yes, it's very warm in here.
22:23All on your own, are you?
22:47See you on, shall we?
22:55Shouldn't be on your tod this time of night.
22:57It's not safe.
22:58You watch this for a lot.
23:00Leave me alone!
23:01Kick up all the fuss you like, lovely.
23:03There's no one about.
23:05Oh, nice.
23:07Get away!
23:07Stop it!
23:09Come on, darling.
23:10Don't be a bad day.
23:12Come on!
23:12Go on, get in now.
23:17Go on, my son.
23:21Oh, come on, leave her.
23:23We've got more shopping to do.
23:24Ha, ha, ha, ha.
23:25Habit?
23:48Habit?
23:48Habit?
23:48Habit?
23:53Habit?
23:53What is it? Are you all right?
23:59Why didn't you wake me? Oh, God, I feel terrible.
24:03Sit down. Here.
24:06Whatever, is it? I'm gonna die, David.
24:10Oh, don't be silly. Are you all right?
24:14Rust your head down here a minute.
24:17David, I'm gonna die.
24:23I'm gonna die.
24:34Oh.
24:53I appreciate it.
24:58Over there, sir.
25:02Like, share a little.
25:06There we go, David.
25:08Yes, sir.
25:10Let's leave a link.
25:12The other day, I am looking for the other way.
25:19I'm going to go in the middle of the day.
25:26I'm going to go out and put it in the middle of the day.
25:32I'm going to get into the middle of the day.
25:38I've got it Joe she's bad I've been looking for you everywhere I went up to
25:48the house there's no answer Margaret died this afternoon Oh God Oh Joe I'm sorry
26:08but like the old Jewish joke about chicken soup may not do any good but it won't do any harm
26:29they're dying David and there's nothing I can do to help
26:35I thought we'd miss the worst of it down here I had 17 tonight four of them the whole family went

38:24can you help me
38:26I'm looking for my son Peter
38:38are you all right
38:43so
38:58so
39:00so
39:02yes
39:04I've had this thing for nearly 10 years and I still can't get you I've been to the dormitory he's not there
39:10I know
39:12I know
39:14Peter went off with the group 20 boys
39:16uh mr fielding went with them
39:18then he's alive
39:20this was uh
39:22five days ago
39:24the school had been hit very badly
39:26fielding thought that he ought to get some of the boys away those who weren't actually showing symptoms
39:30where did they go
39:32they took camping equipment
39:34fielding's idea was to
39:36find some place where they could isolate themselves
39:40mrs Grant
39:42be wrong of me to offer too much hope there's no certainty that the boys who left weren't already infected
39:46but there's a chance
39:48some of the older boys went off trying to get home and some more were collected by their parents this was
39:54before the peak of the outbreak
39:58for those that remained
40:04300
40:06all of them
40:10the
40:12i'm the only one
40:14Let's go.
40:44Shall I build up the fire?
41:07You've got the fever, haven't you?
41:09Let me try and make you more comfortable.
41:14Keep away.
41:15Keep away.
41:17Leave me alone.
41:24I'm too tired to go on.
41:25Can I stay?
41:27I'm too tired to go on.
41:28I'm too tired to go on.
41:32I'm too tired.
41:33I'm too tired to go on.
41:34I'm too tired to go on.
41:35I'm too tired to go on.
41:36I'm too tired to go on.
41:37I'm too tired to go on.
41:38I'm too tired to go on.
41:43I'm too tired to go on.
41:44I'm too tired to go on.
41:45I'm too tired to go on.
41:46It's getting light.
41:47batteries all but gone nobody's sending anyway boys made this it's very good we
42:00used to talk to other radio hams all over the world have you talked to them
42:05lately have you told them what's happening they do well it's the same to them what's
42:11happened here has happened in every country on the globe we sometimes listen
42:17to aircraft oh police signals things like that there was a state of emergency
42:23declared but it was too late there was nobody left to implement it they even
42:28tried to set up a seat of government in the country there was no hope of that
42:32of course administrators died along with the rest of them I'm glad I wasn't in a
42:39city what's going to happen I thought about it a great deal now those of us
42:52who have come through this are in some way biological freaks we've survived by
42:56chance now the aftermath of this sickness will be more terrible than we can
43:02imagine the real survivors will be those who can come through what must follow but
43:06surely it won't be that hard there must be tons of preserved foods cars petrol the
43:13stockpile of things must be enormous oh it'll be enough for many many years but
43:17that would be simply scavenging wouldn't it and a constantly diminishing supply
43:20what is important is learning again things you've never even needed to
43:27consider before for instance that could you make that where does the raw material come
43:33from do you know some sort of oil product I suppose or before that tallow or
43:38animal fat but could you make it something as simple as a candle starting
43:43from scratch I could probably find out it must be in a book somewhere all right
43:47take it from there a book will tell you how electricity is generated but could you
43:52do it right from the very beginning find the metal in the earth dig it up refine it
43:56and turn it into wire could you make and cast glass for a light bulb you'll need to
44:02know every part of every process a carpenter a man who works in wood he
44:09doesn't chop down the trees he doesn't forge the steel for his saw could he make a
44:14hammer nails for myself I could perhaps fashion some sort of stone tool we really are that primitive
44:27incredible isn't it we're of the generation that landed a man on the moon and the best
44:32we can do is talk about making tools out of stone what you called a stockpile of things will
44:38merely give us a little breathing space perhaps several generations but in that
44:43time all the old crafts and skills must be learned we must learn
44:56yes well I must go and then I must start to look for Peter what will you do I got
45:06two more batteries left for this I suppose I might find some more after that I shall be
45:12totally deaf I won't make a very good survivor
