00:00The End
00:30Slow down for the bend.
00:57Whoa, not that slow.
01:00That's better.
01:05Let's go through Micklesham.
01:07A town, but you said before...
01:08I know I said towns are blocked, but the streets can't all be full of rot.
01:11Anyway, I'm tired of skirting around. I want to get home.
01:18That was a risk.
01:19Well, there's no one about.
01:21Yes, but there might be someone thinking just that.
01:23It would be a silly way to die.
01:24Sorry.
01:25Just give a toot on the horn next time.
01:27Ding, ding, ding, ding.
01:30Anyway, it would be silly to die in town too.
01:32So what's the hurry?
01:33If your son's at home, he's at home.
01:35You'll see him when you get there.
01:36If Peter's alive and he's at home, then he'll be living in one of the outhouses because the house is burnt.
01:42And if there's no food supply and no one turns up, then how long will he stay there?
01:47You should have thought of that sooner.
01:50Yes, I should.
01:52It's been weeks.
01:53Look, why don't you drop me off at the first car and I'll make my own way.
01:58And you can carry on by the side roads and we'll meet up.
02:00I don't mind.
02:02Normie, we aren't likely to catch typhoid in February, are we?
02:06Well, I wouldn't like to bet on it.
02:09We can stay in the car, then.
02:12All right.
02:14Thanks.
02:14I'll turn right at the main road.
02:20What are you doing?
02:22I don't know.
02:22The pedal isn't working.
02:23I haven't done anything.
02:24Yeah, well, just brake gently and pull in.
02:26Clutch, clutch, clutch.
02:27Can you change down?
02:28Well, just put the clutch in.
02:29Clutch in.
02:30That's it.
02:44Well, what is it?
02:49Well, I don't know.
02:50There should be a couple of gallons left in it.
02:55Anybody know what day it is?
02:57I meant to keep a diary.
03:00My birthday on the 21st.
03:03What can I do?
03:04Well, could you try the ignition again?
03:06Yeah.
03:10Oh, I don't know.
03:11Unless the jets are blocked.
03:12Well, it's going to be dark in a few hours.
03:16We'll have to camp here.
03:18Sorry, girls.
03:24Here, let me help.
03:35It's stuck.
03:38We are out of petrol.
03:40But you said that the gage is...
03:41I know, I know, but it's jammed.
03:46Right.
03:48Well, we're about here.
03:51That's a fairly big road.
03:52Must be a mile.
03:53There could be a garage there.
03:55And that, look, that's about three miles.
03:57Gilton, there might be a garage there.
03:59You mean we push?
04:01No, I'll go up to the crossroads.
04:02Look, it's all right.
04:03I'll go.
04:04I can't see why.
04:05If there's a garage, there'll be a can.
04:07I can work a hand.
04:07I'll make some coffee.
04:14Anything you fancy?
04:15Not more ham, pelches, baked beans, corn beef.
04:20Chop, celery, and pickles.
04:22Fine.
04:22There.
04:23Here, let me.
04:36Let me.
04:46Let me.
04:47Abbey at least has a purpose.
05:06Oh so have I.
05:07I want to stay alive.
05:09Can't aim higher than that.
05:11Yeah but I'm an engineer.
05:13You should be getting organized.
05:14All I seem to want to do is just to keep the cold out.
05:18That's all right.
05:20That thrash doesn't care what you do.
05:25Thanks.
05:27Jenny.
05:29It's the emptiness.
05:31It's not meeting a living soul.
05:34Even the crash at that crossroads would have been something.
05:38Do you dream?
05:40What?
05:41At night.
05:43Yes.
05:44You?
05:45Yes.
05:47Crazy.
05:53Could do with some milk.
05:56Do you dream about the people that you've known?
05:59Mm.
05:59And others I haven't.
06:01I don't know if I'm dead or awake or what.
06:06Do you have that?
06:07No I dream I'm in a fire.
06:08I suppose it's Rotterdam when I flew over it.
06:12Or the fire I know we need now for all the towns that clean them out.
06:21Can I hug you?
06:22Thanks.
06:36Thanks.
06:36Thanks.
06:36Thanks.
06:36Thanks.
06:36Thanks.
06:37Thanks.
06:37Thanks.
06:38Thanks.
06:38Thanks.
06:38Thanks.
06:39Thanks.
06:39Thanks.
06:39Thanks.
06:40Thanks.
06:40Thanks.
06:41Thanks.
06:41Thanks.
06:41Thanks.

06:43Thanks.
06:43Thanks.
06:43Thanks.
06:45Thanks.
06:45Thanks.
06:45Thanks.
06:45Thanks.
06:45Thanks.
06:45Thanks.
06:46Thanks.
06:47Thanks.
06:47Thanks.
06:47Thanks.
06:48Thanks.
06:49Thanks.
06:49Thanks.
06:49Thanks.
06:50Thanks.
06:50Thanks.
06:50Thanks.
06:51Thanks.
06:51Thanks.
06:51Thanks.
06:52Thanks.
06:53Thanks.
06:53Thanks.
06:53Thanks.
06:54Thanks.
06:54Thanks.
06:55Thanks.
06:55Thanks.
06:56Thanks.
06:56Thanks.
06:57Thanks.
06:57Thanks.
06:58Thanks.
08:08How many notices are out?
08:09Oh, I don't know. Did you want me to count?
08:12Er, well, there's eight there. We started with 50.
08:16That's 42.
08:18Clever.
08:19Right, make a note. When we get back, run off more notices.
08:26Turnips.
08:28Well, they left a lion rot.
08:31We haven't got much at all today, except that plough at the pub.
08:34And no people.
08:36You seem to have gathered everyone from round here.
08:38Are we going back to Mardell?
08:40No. We'll take this road here, see?
08:42There's a farm. There's a row of cottages.
08:45It's not a Mirage. There they are.
08:47Mardell.
08:48Ah, somebody with a duplicator.
08:50Avoid towns.
08:51We've got to go to that place.
08:53Well, what about Peter?
08:54Well, we needn't stay.
08:56Well, I needn't.
08:57But if it is a centre of information, then we must go.
09:00You know, we haven't been boiling all the water.
09:02Maybe they have a doctor.
09:04I wonder how big a settlement it is.
09:06How long do you think those have been up, Greg?
09:08Well, they're not damp or faded.
09:10Weak.
09:11Must be about 30 miles.
09:13A couple of gallons of petrol.
09:15Was there anything outside in the cars?
09:17Well, the one I tried was empty.
09:18I suppose the others are too.
09:20I'll look.
09:21Just take the cap off.
09:22Yeah, otherwise I shall just have to invent a pump.
09:31Here's one that's open.
09:33Wait outside till I check.
09:34I'm marking it down.
09:36Smells okay.
09:38Hang on, though.
09:41H for slate.
09:42Sheep.
09:43Golly.
09:44I'll put what I'm harness for three.
09:46Horses gone.
09:48H for hay.
09:51O for orchard.
09:53Hello?
09:55Yeah?
09:56Can I come in and get a basket?
09:58Get some of these apples from the shed.
10:00I'm in the kitchen.
10:04Well, it's not smelly.
10:13No.
10:13There's a saucepan been left to burn.
10:28They must have died before the electricity finished.
10:32How's that for deduction?
10:33There's a generator out the back.
10:36There's a letter here as well, Mr. John Smith.
10:39Is he still here?
10:40A man and a woman in the bedroom.
10:48It's just about the plague.
10:53Mr. and Mrs. John Smith.
10:56Oh, Mr. Smith and girlfriend.
10:59Mrs. Smith and the meltman.
11:00No, it's Mr. and Mrs.
11:03There are two children in another room.
11:07Right, well, take this down.
11:111840.
11:14Fully converted.
11:16Good carpet in the dining room.
11:17The rest is rubbish.
11:18Grapefruit knife.
11:26When will we see another grapefruit?
11:28Hey, shall I write, Mr. and Mrs. John Smith?
11:30Yes, we'll cross them off the electoral roll.
11:32But it's meaningless.
11:34Maybe, but we might find somebody who knows of somebody who's looking for great Uncle Johnny.
11:40Well, now far the horses have gone.
11:42No, they're probably ponies.
11:44We need a stallion.
11:45Hey, well, Mr. Smith?
11:50Nothing here for us.
11:52Apples?
11:53Oh, yeah, and a bicycle outside.
11:55But it's got a puncture.
11:56What do we need that for?
11:57We've got a dozen good bikes.
11:58We're a growing community and a puncture's easy enough to mend.
12:01It's no hardship to take it.
12:02Come on, let's go.
12:11Did you bring this in?
12:13Well, no, I haven't been yet.
12:15Hello?
12:18Hello?
12:21Anybody there?
12:24Please answer with friends.
12:26You need us.
12:26We need you.
12:27My name's Charles.
12:40This is Lorraine.
12:42Please come out.
12:46We need each other.
12:47Hello.
12:59Hello.
12:59Hello.
13:00We're friends.
13:10It's stinky in there.
13:11Yeah, I'll bet.
13:13What's your name?
13:14Michael.
13:15Nick.
13:16Smith?
13:17No.
13:18I was just passing.
13:19You're on your own?
13:20Yeah.
13:21Picked up a bit of durs, haven't you?
13:23Mick, we've got a kind of a farm.
13:26Some people running it.
13:28We're asking anyone who wants to join us just to join us.
13:32Eggs.
13:33Bread.
13:35Fresh meat.
13:36Drew.
13:36We work at what we can.
13:38Lorraine and I are going around now looking at what there is.
13:42Here's my notebook.
13:46Hey, where are you from?
13:48Waken.
13:49They all died.
13:50Been living off guns, have you?
13:51Yeah.
13:53Is that your bike outside?
13:54Yeah, but it's got a puncture.
13:56Could you fix it?
13:57Yes.
13:59Good job you showed yourself.
14:00You've had a bumpy journey until you found another bike.
14:03Mick, are you quite well?
14:05Yeah.
14:06Been boiling water?
14:07Tea, yes.
14:08Sometimes not.
14:09Sometimes.
14:10How's your tummy?
14:12A bit runny.
14:13I've been eating lots of apples.
14:14Oh, you're all right.
14:24I'd say it was apples.
14:26Well,
14:27do you want to join us?
14:30I don't mind.
14:39Oh, look!
14:41A piglet!
14:44Come on, Charles!
15:01That's it!
15:03Run!
15:04Run faster!
15:06No!
15:07Run faster!
15:08No!
15:09Run faster!
15:10No!
15:11No!
15:12No!
15:13No!
15:14Come on, Charles!
15:15Come on!
15:16Come on, run faster!
15:17That's it, Charles!
15:18You nearly got it!
15:19Come on!
15:20Come on!
15:21You nearly got it!
15:22Ha-ha-ha-ha!
15:23Ha-ha-ha-ha!
15:24That's it!
15:25No!
15:26Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!
15:27Ha-ha-ha-ha!
15:28Yay!
15:29Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!
15:31Ha-ha-ha-ha!
15:38Look what I found!
15:39Have you played?
15:40I've always wanted to.
15:41I've always wanted to.
15:42Yeah, well, I'll teach you.
15:45That battery's going flat.
15:47It's all right.
15:48Nearly finished.
15:49Sorry it's taken so long, but at least we're going to have it from now on.
15:54Oh, I'm the wrong sort of engineer for this.
15:58Still a good workman.
16:00Shouldn't blame his brains.
16:02Damn it!
16:03Flisters?
16:04Yeah.
16:05Need a better drill than this.
16:08Should also pick up another foot pump too if we can.
16:11Well, where's the other hose pipe?
16:14Oh, here.
16:19Yeah, well there should be a jubilee clip with it.
16:21Oh, sorry.
16:27I knew we should have brought the camp stove.
16:29Yeah, well now you say it.
16:31I'll go.
16:32Oh, no wait.
16:33Look, we're cold and hungry.
16:34Why don't we just light a fire here?
16:36On top of a petrol tank?
16:38No, to one side.
16:39We could set one of the cars alight.
16:42Look, will one of you just go back to the car
16:45and get the camping stove and the gas light and the water
16:49and brew something?
16:51Hey, Jenny.
16:52That's a Land Rover.
16:53Hello?
16:54He's there.
16:55The keys aren't we?
16:56We're friends.
16:57Have we come in?
17:15You need us.
17:16We need you.
17:19My name's Charles.
17:20I've got Mick here, all right?
17:24Yes, all right.
17:32Hello.
17:34We saw your car up the road.
17:36Thought you'd be here.
17:39Are you all well?
17:40Yeah.
17:43What's the trouble?
17:44There's no trouble.
17:45We're just getting some petrol up out of the tank.
17:48Can I look?
17:49Yeah, that'll be so.
17:51A foot pump?
17:52Yeah, well, I've just made it so that it sucks instead of blows.
17:56I see that bit goes into the car and that bit goes into the ground.
17:58That's right.
17:59That's great.
18:00Yeah, if the valves work.
18:01You know, I usually get petrol up by putting a bit of hose into the ground.
18:04You block up the end and you pull it out and you get a pint or a half pint out that way.
18:07But who's in a hurry?
18:08Yeah, well, I thought of that but I'd already started making this.
18:11In any case, this is portable.
18:12You could use it anywhere.
18:13It's worth it.
18:14Well,
18:17you see my notice?
18:19Oh, is it yours?
18:20We're collecting people.
18:21We're letting people collect us.
18:22We've just collected Mick.
18:24We left Lorraine near your tent.
18:25She's cooking supper.
18:27Mick's hungry.
18:28And I'm hungry.
18:30Can we share it with you?
18:31As long as it isn't chopped, Zoe.
18:33Roast pork.
18:36Yes, please.
18:38You met this man called Wormley who said he was the government.
18:41How many people did he have?
18:42Oh, I don't know.
18:43About eight or nine.
18:44Oh, they were just thugs.
18:45They broke up our settlement just when we'd started.
18:47Forget about the government.
18:49They'll have to come to terms with nature like the rest of us.
18:51A government of, what, nine without communications is not viable.
18:54What did you do, Charles?
18:56I was an architect.
18:58My speciality was restoring old buildings.
19:02I know where there are still water mills and windmills.
19:05And how they built without 20th century sophistication.
19:09I was devoted to the good life.
19:12My wife baked bread.
19:13We made wine, bottled fruit.
19:15We kept hens and pigs.
19:17We're three children.
19:21So I've expanded a bit on the basis of mutual need.
19:24We've got 12 people now with Mick.
19:25If he wants to join us, he's coming to see.
19:28And I left the others putting potatoes in.
19:30We took over 20 acres from the next door farm.
19:32It's got a tendency to water log, but it'll do.
19:35What do you do about that?
19:37It's easy.
19:38Clear the ditches.
19:39Half a dozen people, 20 acres, it's no trouble.
19:41Well, the main problem is wheat.
19:43We have a bit left over from my own harvest, which we use for bread,
19:46but we need to thresh it all and sow it.
19:48Yeah, but surely there's plenty of wheat left from the harvest.
19:51No.
19:52It's mainly barley.
19:53Some wheat.
19:54We found some hay this afternoon where Mick was.
19:56Half the goodness gone out of it, but he'll see the livestock through to the early summer
19:59with the silage and the barley.
20:00What livestock?
20:01Heifers.
20:02Everyone's cows died because they weren't being milked.
20:06So we rounded up some heifers and a bull.
20:08We'll have cows milk next year.
20:10Next year?
20:11Well, we do have a goat.
20:13We have a three-year-old girl and she has all the milk.
20:16Ever milked a goat?
20:18Oh, it's easy.
20:19We've got two horses.
20:20I'd like to get some more and a stallion.
20:22Pigs, hens.
20:24We have cats, of course, but I haven't seen them anywhere else.
20:27The domestic puss hasn't survived for some reason.
20:30Maybe they've gone to ground.
20:32The dogs are hunting in packs.
20:34So after we've done the ditches, we'll build a fence.
20:38You know, in the old days, they used to put a thorn hedge around villages.
20:43Are you going to accept anyone who wants to join you?
20:46No.
20:48I can cope with a community of about 20 to 30.
20:51If it gets beyond that, we'll start another one somewhere.
20:54In lots of little settlements until they grow on their own
20:56and solve their own problems of growing.
20:58So we don't know what's going to happen.
21:00Rats, dogs, blight.
21:02So we must plan, but we must keep it flexible.
21:04Sounds as if you're doing what I was aiming to do,
21:07but with no knowledge.
21:09Come and join us.
21:10Yes.
21:12Well, I'd like to come and have a look.
21:14Greg, you said you flew a helicopter.
21:17Mm-hmm.
21:18Well, I've surveyed a small area around here by car.
21:21If we could solve the fuel problem, you could cover Britain.
21:24Now, we can't afford to support parasites,
21:26but survey is very important.
21:28Yeah, but I mean, I just fly a helicopter.
21:30If I learn the services as well,
21:32that makes you become a full-time job.
21:34All right.
21:35Then that can be your job.
21:37You see, we need to know if hydroelectricity is still operating.
21:41Are the atomic power stations dangerous?
21:43Were they shut down?
21:44And how many survivors are there?
21:45Enough to be viable, or do we have to join up with the French survivors?
21:47I don't know what proportion of human population is big enough to keep us going,
21:53but I do know that one settlement of twelve-fifteen isn't enough.
21:58You mean inbreeding?
21:59Mm.
22:00And natural frailty.
22:02Maybe four out of five infants won't survive to become adults.
22:05Diet deficiency.
22:07No medicine.
22:08No surgery.
22:09How many doctors are left in Britain?
22:10Twenty?
22:11Or one?
22:12Or none?
22:13Oh, the problem of the next generation,
22:15like my seed crop,
22:17is very, very urgent.
22:19Do you have just the one child in the settlement?
22:22No, we've got four.
22:23We've got Biddy, the three-year-old,
22:25makes, what, twelve?
22:26We've got an eleven-year-old chum for him.
22:27We've got an eight-year-old.
22:29It's not very right in the head, but he might get over it.
22:32I had a son.
22:34Peter.
22:35I don't know if he's alive or dead.
22:38He was at school when it all started,
22:40and they went into the open country.
22:42I was on my way home to see if he managed to make his way back there.
22:46Well, that's the only way of finding out.
22:49But I must tell you,
22:51without twelve people,
22:52in their case histories,
22:54no two members of the same family have survived anywhere.
22:57In fact, no two people who knew each other,
22:59or knew of each other,
23:01have survived.
23:02But you don't know for sure.
23:04And even if it's only a million to one chance,
23:06it could come up.
23:07Yes, well, I'll come with you tomorrow,
23:10and then I'll go off on my own.
23:12I'll come back later.
23:14I hope you do.
23:16We'll have a welcoming party tomorrow.
23:19We'll build the biggest bonfire you ever saw, Mick.
23:22And we'll dance if you'll play for us, Greg,
23:24and we'll call it the February Welcome.
23:26Would you like that?
23:27Yes.
23:28What's your story, Mick?
23:30Were you at school?
23:32Yeah.
23:33Comprehensive.
23:34How many were there?
23:36About 2,000.
23:38I got it first, just for a day.
23:40Then I got better.
23:41My folks didn't.
23:43Then I got...
23:45Well, when I was up and around,
23:47I went to see my friends.
23:49Must have been terrible.
23:51Yes.
23:52Yes.
23:53Yes, it was terrible.
23:54What do you think was fun?
23:55It was bloody hell terrible.
23:57I was running and cycling.
23:58No, it was my moment.
24:00Come on, boys.
24:06We'll leave him.
24:09He's got to cry.
24:12He'll come back.
24:13He needs us.
24:15Sorry for being stupid.
24:17I was thinking of my own son.
24:20Things people say are very important.
24:23I always try to greet a stranger in a way that takes away suspicion.
24:27Hmm.
24:28My name's Lorraine.
24:29You need us.
24:30We need you.
24:31Yeah.
24:32And with a real stranger, you say it for real.
24:34Before asking questions, always open up.
24:36Give information about yourself.
24:37Let them see there's no danger.
24:38And then ask about health.
24:40Can I ask about something?
24:42Of course.
24:43What's the date?
24:4424th of February.
24:46Oh, I've missed it.
24:47What?
24:48My birthday.
24:49Oh, Jenny.
24:51Well, dates are important.
24:53We need to know when to reap.
24:55When to sow.
24:56How to use a table of tides when we come across one.
24:59Oh, don't worry.
25:00We'll find you watchers with dates.
25:01Have you any idea what the actual survival rate is?
25:04No, not really.
25:07In the area I've surveyed,
25:09we 15 people are the remains of about 75,000.
25:13There's one in 5,000.
25:16About.
25:17And if it's the same all over,
25:19the population of the British Isles is about 10,000 people.
25:24Now, I reckon we've got enough remains of civilization to last for about two generations.
25:28If we survive the next year or two,
25:30and gather our crops,
25:32and keep the livestock alive through the winter,
25:34and beat the rats,
25:35and get next season's crop planted,
25:36and make very sure that there is a next generation we'll survive.
25:40If we use our logic.
25:42And we're being helped.
25:45I've found that with the scarcity of people,
25:48and the problems,
25:50everybody
25:52loves
25:53everybody.
26:03Sorry Mick.
26:04It's alright.
26:05Well, bedtime?
26:06Yes.
26:07Abby and I have got our things in the tent.
26:08We've got a lovely bed here.
26:10Where you got to sleep Mick?
26:11That's right.
26:12You can come in the car with me.
26:13You can have one hand and I'll have the other.
26:14You alright?
26:15Yeah, thanks.
26:16Oh, it's alright.
26:17We know where to put the things.
26:18Oh, it's alright.
26:19We know where to put the things.
26:20It's nice, isn't it?
26:21It's nice, isn't it?
26:22It's nice.
26:23It's nice, isn't it?
26:24It's nice, isn't it?
26:25It's nice, isn't it?
26:26It's nice, isn't it?
26:27It's nice, isn't it?
26:28It's nice, isn't it?
26:29It's nice, isn't it?
26:30It's nice, isn't it?
26:35It's nice, isn't it?
26:36It's nice, isn't it?
26:38it's nice isn't it
26:50he's got the answer hasn't he
26:57yes
27:00aren't you sure
27:03yes I'm sure
27:06it's just that I was thinking about that boy
27:10Mick
27:12all that he's been through
27:14all those surviving children
27:18you mean
27:20Peter
27:21babies can't have come through
27:28not many young children
27:31even if we do survive
27:35there'll be a missing generation
27:36how do you feel about giving birth
27:42Jen
27:43I don't fancy it
27:46do you
27:48well there won't be much point in getting through the next few years
27:53without children
27:54we need some of Charles's cold logic
27:59I'm not ready for cold logic
28:03survival can wait for a bit
28:07I don't know
28:20what do you mean
28:24I don't know
28:26I don't know
28:28what do you mean
28:29as you're feeling
28:30The pan is the one.
28:33The pan is now available.
28:36The pan is here.
28:47The pan is in the pan, all the big ╨▓╨╕ads,
28:52and I'm just going to use a pans.
28:56Here we are, boy.

30:05I don't like fish.
30:06Corn dolly.
30:07Have you seen one of them?
30:08Yes.
30:09Charles made that.
30:10Charles made that.
30:11No, he did.
30:12I watched him do it.
30:13He hung it up there.
30:14When I told him, I said, there for when the harvest's home.
30:17That's when you hang up a corn dolly.
30:18Not winter.
30:42so. that's when you hang up a corn dolly. not winter. not when you're threshing to
30:49get a few handfuls of corn for bread. oh I don't know.
31:00he said it was the fish.
31:04you didn't have it? I don't like it.
31:12well they've nothing left to stick up now. it's further down.
31:19trout. where is it Isla? the remains. well I burnt them.
31:24could be industrial waste. could have come from the sea.
31:38bacteria. maybe some residue from the plague degraded viruses. I don't know what.
31:45abby. could you face going up there and hold hands, soothe brows.
31:58yes of course I could.
32:02greg? yeah? can you manage the horses?
32:05well never mind. well I can feed them. groom them.
32:08no I'd rather you went up there.
32:11the horses will survive in any way they're replaceable.
32:14I'll... I'll send them on the lawn they'll feed themselves.
32:17yeah well look is there anything that I can do?
32:19don't worry Greg we've all got work to do.
32:22first we'll eat. then Isla will show you the corn.
32:25for threshing? yes and grind some too.

32:31shall I fetch it? yes.
32:35I'll do this. thank you.
