00:00¶¶
00:30Today we bring you to one of the huge shelters
00:47which the government is constructing at top speed for our protection.
00:52This must be by far the largest construction effort ever undertaken in this country.
00:56The whole of our... Oh, no, Diana, make a note to fix a session with the film editor, will you?
01:04The whole of our armed forces, together with the civil defence organisations
01:10and numerous... No, no, thousands of volunteers
01:13are working day and night on these immense shelters.
01:19Most people in this country are facing the menace of Object Z with amazing calm.
01:24I can't get any cooperation in this building at all.
01:26I'd be better off producing for some other TV network.
01:28Have you finished that script yet?
01:29Well, come on, come on, let's not waste any time.
01:32I'm the only one here who seems to want to do any work.
01:35What was the last thing I said, Diana?
01:37With amazing calm.
01:39Yes.
01:42Everywhere there is confidence.
01:44Confidence in the measures taken by the government.
01:47Confidence that so long as we work together and avoid panic,
01:50we can survive the impact of Object Z.
01:54I don't think.
01:57I take it that's not meant to be in the script.
02:00No.
02:04Peter?
02:05Hmm?
02:05Do you think the shelters will be ready in time?
02:09Not a chance.
02:10Peter, before we go out and film the script,
02:12I want you to go to King's Norton.
02:14Where now's that?
02:14It's a village in Buckinghamshire.
02:16The bicker there refuses to build shelters.
02:18What?
02:18Why?
02:19Oh, on the grounds, the judgment,
02:21uh, object Zed is a judgment from God.
02:23Anyway, chat him up and see if you can get a program on it.
02:26All right, well, I'd better get off right away.
02:27Yeah, Diana, if you don't get a car for us, will you?
02:30Uh, Peter, we'll have to get some street interviews.
02:31The whole object of this operation is to instill confidence.
02:35The main object is to understand and to find out,
02:38to find out what the ordinary person is doing and thinking at this moment.
02:46What do you think about all this?
02:48Well, it's a bad do, of course.
02:50But we've faced this kind of thing before, haven't we?
02:52Battle of Britain and all that.
02:54Quiet.
02:55How's your shelter getting on?
02:57Oh, not bad.
02:58Everyone's working on it.
02:59It's jolly hard work, too, I can tell you.
03:02How's yours getting on?
03:03Oh, not bad, actually.
03:05Everybody's pitching in.
03:06I make myself useful brewing tea and all that.
03:09I see they've closed down all the schools.
03:13Want us to stay together, I suppose, when the...
03:15Quiet.
03:16It's bound to be devastation, of course.
03:19As long as we stick together, avoid panic and obey instructions,
03:22I'm sure everything will be all right.
03:25It's all a plot.
03:27You mark my words, there's going to be a war.
03:29And they're just saying it's a start to make us go out and build all them shelters.
03:33War now, Albert is.
03:34It's not fair.
03:35After a long day with the gas board, then he has to go out and dig.
03:38But I've seen the star on the tilly.
03:40Oh, yes, you can see it all right.
03:42But that don't mean it's going to hit us, does it?
03:44No, it's all a plot.
03:45Do you think it'll miss us, then?
03:47Yeah, of course it will.
03:48Anyhow, I'm not going down one of them shelters, not if I don't want to.
03:51It's a free country, innit?
03:53Well, if it's in free, it's reasonable.
03:55No.
03:56One bomb and the lot comes down.
03:58Albert can go if he likes, but I'm not going near them.
04:00Oh, you ain't half awful.
04:01Oh, well, you see, I know.
04:03It's all a plot.
04:05Look, six buses.
04:07They're afraid to come sink in case they get lynched.
04:10Come on.
04:14Well, how are we getting on?
04:16Not too well, I'm afraid.
04:19My reports show that barely 25% of the shelter accommodation we need will be ready by that day.
04:24Can't we speed them up if it's a question of manpower?
04:27It's not a question of manpower, John.
04:29It's a question of concrete.
04:31Have you read Duncan's report?
04:32Yes.
04:33According to him, if impact occurs more than 6,000 miles away, outside this line, we shall have a very fair chance.
04:40Though there will be flooding and some damage to buildings by blast.
04:44At 3,000 to 6,000 miles, the risks will be much greater and the effects much worse.
04:52Most buildings will be completely destroyed by blast and we shall have to expect severe casualties, even in the shelters.
04:58How many will have shelters in six weeks' time?
05:01About 10 million.
05:03One in five.
05:04It would be possible, of course, to select people so that the fittest, most intelligent, had the best chance of survival.
05:12I'm not God to decide who's fit to live and who's to die.
05:16We must select people by lot.
05:18Oh, a charity match.
05:29I thought it was a bit late in the year for proper cricket.
05:31No, you're not!
05:32Excuse me.
05:36I'm very grateful to you, Vicar, for letting us do this interview.
05:40Do you believe that the visitation of this object is a punishment for the sins of the whole world, or just for those of Kings Norton?
05:49Oh, I hope I'm not as narrow-minded as that.
05:53Oh, well played.
05:55No, I don't want to share the same fate as a predecessor of mine in this parish.
05:59He was thrown into the horse pond by his own congregation for suggesting a similar thing.
06:04When was that?
06:04Uh, 1916.
06:07He was unwise enough to suggest that a stick of bombs which fell from a zeppelin that year, demolishing the parish hall and killing six people,
06:14was sent as a punishment for their fondness for the crown and anchor.
06:17Most unwise.
06:19Would you really think that this is a visitation from God?
06:23Oh, certainly.
06:24All visitations are.
06:25Oh, well stopped.
06:28Yes, I believe this dreadful thing has been sent to punish us all for our sins.
06:33And it would be blessed for me to try to take shelter against it.
06:36I've told my parishioners so.
06:38In any case, you know, many of them believe that no shelter will avail against so tremendous an impact.
06:43A view which I share.
06:45When do we start?
06:47Oh, just as soon as the cameras are set up.
06:50What has the government done about all this?
06:53About us not building a shelter, you mean?
06:54Mm.
06:55Well, there's not much they can do, is there?
06:56I mean, it's very difficult, as you know, to make men work if they don't want to.
07:01Especially when they're convinced they only have five weeks to live.
07:06However, it is extremely difficult, as you all know, to make men work if they're really unwilling to do so.
07:12And it's difficult to threaten prison and fines when they're convinced they've only got five weeks to live.
07:20That's a very good interview you filmed there, Peter.
07:22Thanks.
07:23Splendid chap, that vicar.
07:25I envy people who can feel so certain about things.
07:27I envy the way he can order people about.
07:30Make them see his own point of view, even.
07:31You know, they very nearly lynched Diana because she was wearing pants.
07:34And kinky boots, too, I suppose.
07:36Yes, sir, they weren't very much appreciated.
07:39What's that?
07:40Looters, I expect.
07:44I can't see anything from here.
07:47Ah, they're all over the place.
07:50Bunches of ruffians, they break into pubs, drink themselves into a frenzy,
07:53and then they go out and beat up the tarp.
07:55Yes, I saw them at Highgate yesterday.
07:58I'm told that looters are to be shot at sight now.
08:00That's about the only thing that'll stop them.
08:04Barkley?
08:05Hello?
08:06Oh, Tom.
08:07Yes.
08:08Oh.
08:09Yes, I see.
08:11Yes.
08:11Mm-hmm.
08:12Yes, fine, I'll fix it up, yes.
08:14Ah, Diana, too.
08:16Yes, I'll tell them.
08:16Okay, bye.
08:18Well, you're off.
08:19Who?
08:20You and Peter to Australia on tonight's plane.
08:23You're mad.
08:24I haven't anything with me.
08:25Well, you'd better take a taxi round to your flat and pack, then, haven't you?
08:28You've got your passport?
08:29Yes, of course I have.
08:30Well, you'd better bring it.
08:31And they'll fix you up for the rest of your papers at the airport.
08:33But where are we going and why?
08:35To Woomera.
08:37They're firing the rocket on Thursday to destroy Object Z.
08:40us может быть.
08:43You're in the co-clock.
08:43Yeah, I'll tell you.
08:44They're firing the rocket on Thursday to add to the commune.
08:47I'm sorry.
08:48All right.
08:49Yeah.
08:49You're in the co-clock now.
08:49Oh, my God.
08:50Go!
08:50No, no, no.
08:50No, no, no.
08:51No, no.
08:52No, no, no, no.
08:53No, no.
08:54No, no, no.
08:55No, no, no.
09:00No, no.
09:01No, no.
09:01No, no, no, no.
09:03No, no, no.
09:04No, no, no, no.
09:04No, no, no, no, no.
09:05No, no.
09:06No, no, no.
09:06No, no, no, no.
09:07No, no, no, no, no.
09:08The
09:37The tracking installations extend for several hundred miles.
09:40Uninhabited country.
09:42Yes.
09:43You'll see the launching tower later on.
09:44I suppose that's where they're going to fire Minerva?
09:46Yes, that's correct.
09:47Look, that's all really interesting, but before you go,
09:49have you any inside information from the special branch, Captain Webb?
09:53As I always say to the press, no comment.
09:56That's exactly what I thought you'd say.
09:58Oh, I say, look, she's rather nice.
10:02You're looking very nice, Miss Winters, if I may say so.
10:05Thank you, Captain Webb. How nice of you to say so.
10:07The car should be here shortly.
10:09Oh, by the way, I'm sorry that our last meeting was so unfriendly.
10:13That's all right. We were all under a bit of a strain.
10:15The Australian television people have put their stuff at your disposal.
10:18There's a chap called Grant in charge of arrangements.
10:20You'll meet him later on.
10:21I suppose you'll want to fly your report back to England.
10:24Ah, yes, I will.
10:25I'll lay that on.
10:26I'm afraid I must see it first, though.
10:28Well, what on earth for?
10:30Well, it's the security angle again, I'm afraid.
10:32I'm supposed to see all taped or written reports before they go out.
10:35Ah, all right.
10:37I thought there weren't supposed to be any national secrets anymore.
10:40That's quite true.
10:41The Russians and the Americans are sharing their secrets.
10:43But the great thing is to keep people's spirits up.
10:46That's what the shelter building programs are for, as you know.
10:49They're not likely to be much use when it comes to the crunch.
10:52Who's in charge of operations here?
10:55Dr. Ramsey.
10:56Ah, here's the car.
10:58Are you ready?
10:59Yes, of course.
11:02I say, I wonder if you could help me.
11:04There was supposed to be a car here to meet me that hasn't turned up,
11:06and I've just got to get to Woomera.
11:08Dr. Ramsey?
11:22Yes?
11:23What happens if this thing goes wrong?
11:25We should just have to start again, shall we?
11:27Will there be time?
11:28I think so.
11:29It could take about three weeks, of course.
11:31And if it fails, we've had it.
11:33I'm afraid so.
11:34We'll just have to succeed, won't we?
11:36Excuse me.
11:37Yes, sir, waiting, sir.
11:38Oh, thank you.
11:39Good luck, sir.
11:41Gentlemen, this is Dr. Ramsey.
11:43Hello.
11:44Now, wait a minute.
11:45Don't tell me.
11:46It's Mr. Murray, isn't it?
11:48Barry.
11:49Oh, yes, of course.
11:50I'm sorry our program got cut short.
11:52Well, we shall have to take it up again sometime.
11:54Yes.
11:55Well, gentlemen, quite an imposing array of talent.
11:58Eh?
11:59Well, I suppose I'd better begin.
12:01Now, in a few minutes, we're going to launch an extremely powerful missile into outer space.
12:06The object of this is to explode a hydrogen bomb.
12:08This bomb is much more powerful than anything that we've ever constructed before.
12:12The point of impact should be about 600,000 miles from the Earth.
12:16Now, if this operation is successful, we hope to be able to destroy Object Z, or at any rate, deflect it from its course.
12:23Too many miles.
12:24Well, as you can hear, there's very little time left.
12:26You'll be able to get a good view from the liftoff from these screens here.
12:30How powerful is this bomb you're firing?
12:32It's in the 1,000-megaton range.
12:34Well, it's about five times bigger than anything built before, isn't it?
12:36Yes, it is.
12:37Now, Object Z has been described as six miles across and covering a mass of several thousand million miles.
12:42This bomb you're about to fire, can it make any impression on such a mass?
12:46Our calculations show that if it's made of stone, a direct hit might shatter the object completely.
12:52We should probably still have to face a bombardment of fragments, but that would certainly be less dangerous than a single object of this mass.
12:59One minute.
13:00What if Object Z is composed of nickel iron, as you said it may be?
13:03Then I'm afraid the effect would be, well, less satisfactory.
13:08We might hope, however, to deflect it from its course.
13:10Under the conditions obtaining in outer space, even a light blow might move it from its path and alter its velocity and produce large effects.
13:17What if this firing fails?
13:19I'm afraid there's no time for any more questions.
13:21You'll be able to get a complete view from these screens here.
13:24Now, this is a three-stage device.
13:27The first stage is composed of six Saturn rockets, developing a thrust of 1,500,000 pounds.
13:32At 1,600 miles, the second stage will be fired, developing a thrust of 600,000 pounds.
13:38The third stage will be fired, developing a thrust of 1,200 pounds at 9,600 miles.
13:44That's what the engineers tell us at any rate.
13:47My job has been to calculate a collision bar.
13:49Five, four, three, two, one, zero.
13:57One, six, three, two, one, zero.
14:02She's off course.
14:03What?
14:04What's the reading?
14:05Destruct.
14:06Doctor!
14:07Destruct.
14:08Destruct.
14:09Destruct.
14:10She's off course.
14:16What?
14:17What's the reading?
14:19Destruct.
14:19Doctor, destruct.
14:21Destruct.
14:35What are you going to do now?
14:37What I told you that we might have to do, start again.
14:50And although the results are not entirely satisfactory, much valuable information has been gained,
14:56and our chances of scoring a direct hit at the next attempt are vastly improved.
15:01It is very heartening indeed to see such unity among our people at this moment.
15:05It is even more heartening to see the unity which now exists between nations.
15:12All national and...
15:13Welcome back.
15:13Back.
15:14All distinctions of race...
15:16I gather that the first firing was even more of a frost than they've said.
15:21Total failure.
15:24It's all too complicated.
15:27You've got to get about 30 tons into orbit, set it off at a distance twice as great as the moon,
15:32and then hit an object moving at about a mile a second.
15:37It's just not on.
15:38The Russians are trying next week.
15:40Guess where they're firing it from?
15:42Piccadilly Circus.
15:43Cape Kennedy.
15:44What?
15:44The Americans have put every facility at their disposal.
15:47Apparently, their tracking devices are better than the Russians.
15:50But the Russians have more powerful motors, so they've got together.
15:57Well, what's this?
15:57Britain must emerge from this supreme crisis as the world's greatest power.
16:15That is the destiny of the British people.
16:18The British race was born to rule,
16:21and this crisis was sent by Providence
16:25to give the British people their chance.
16:28And now what's going on?
16:29It's Keeler.
16:30Who?
16:31Keeler, leader of the Action Party, is speaking from Propelga Square.
16:33The Russians, who have dispersed their armed forces,
16:37shared their secrets,
16:39stamped their aircraft, their missiles,
16:41their warships in the Atlantic.
16:43We must keep our arms.
16:46We must retain our armed forces
16:48and concert pitch.
16:50We must keep the bomb.
16:54If we do this,
16:56if we do this,
16:57we shall emerge as the world's only armed power.
17:03And no one,
17:04but no one will be able to stop us
17:07or resist us.
17:09And then,
17:10then,
17:11we shall be able to fulfill our historic task
17:13to dominate the world.
17:18Listen!
17:19Listen!
17:20There are not enough shelters to go round!
17:22Did you know that?
17:23Not enough for one in ten of you!
17:26You death,
17:27death threat you all!
17:29And the government
17:30will do nothing about it!
17:32And who will be...
17:33This looks nasty.
17:34How did you get to know about the shelters?
17:36About there not being enough to go round.
17:37It was becoming obvious, wasn't it?
17:40Down with the government!
17:41That is the only way to save yourselves!
17:43Down with the government!
17:44Down with those who have made such poor preparations!
17:47Down with the traitors!
17:49Who have lied to you!
17:50And exposed you all to him and death!
17:52He's mad!
17:53So was Hitler.
17:54Look where he got to.
17:56He's certainly got the crowd behind him.
17:58How can they believe him?
18:00Building shelters for 40 million people in three weeks?
18:03Oh, yes!
18:07Hello.
18:08Oh, hello, Bob.
18:10Ah, yes, yes.
18:11I've just been watching it.
18:12It was.
18:14What?
18:16Right.
18:18There's a crowd of 60,000 people
18:19marching on Whitehall at this moment.
18:21Well, get down there and cover it!
18:23Yes, sir.
18:53Standing, I can see Whitehall.
18:55The streets are littered with broken glass
18:57from this afternoon's fighting.
18:59And you can see the barricades erected
19:00by the action party against the police.
19:04Firing is still going on.
19:07A car which was attacked earlier
19:09is still burning in the street.
19:12And I can see a man lying in the street
19:14not far from here.
19:16No one dares cross the street
19:17to pick him up.
19:18As you saw on the news earlier,
19:22we're not the only country that's having trouble.
19:25In South America,
19:27the Middle East...
19:28Peter certainly laid it on with the trial.
19:30Yes, it was good.
19:31In Africa, tribal war.
19:32Even in the United States,
19:33there's revolt and confusion.
19:36The whole world is mad with fear.
19:38More details in our next summary.
19:43The time is now 10.45.
19:45You must get some rest.
19:47I'm waiting for a report from Duncan.
19:49He's putting the latest figures through the computers.
19:51Should be ready in about half an hour.
19:52Well, will you rest then?
19:53What a pity.
19:55For the first time, I suppose,
19:57in history,
19:57the whole world was united.
20:00There's no national ambition.
20:02No threat of war.
20:04We were all brothers.
20:06Now everything's falling apart
20:08simply because a few ambitious men
20:10see this situation as a way to power.
20:18There was a chance, you know.
20:20If we survived,
20:21there was a chance to build a better world
20:23than we've ever known before.
20:25Without hatred.
20:27Without...
20:31And now...
20:32But there's still a chance
20:33if this thing they're firing from Kate Kennedy works.
20:36It must work.
20:37There won't be a second chance.
20:40What time are they firing back us?
20:4311.30.
20:45Half an hour.
20:53Nine, eight, seven, six, five, four, three, two, one.
21:15Nine, eight, seven, six, five, four, three, two, one.
21:19Four, three, two, one.
21:40She's off.
21:41No trouble so far.
21:42When will she go into orbit?
21:43In about 40 minutes.
21:44Then we hope to give her escape velocity.
21:47What?
21:48Right, thank you.
21:52Oh, how's it going?
21:53Oh, fine.
21:54The deck is tracking her.
21:56She'll be over Siberia in about 10 minutes.
21:57Those are figures?
21:58Yes.
22:00The course is unchanged.
22:02She's heading straight for us.
22:04I think it's time for the Prime Minister's statement.
22:17Turn it up, Diana.
22:19OK, bye-bye.
22:21I am happy to tell you
22:22that order has been restored in London
22:24as well as in the provinces.
22:27John Keillor, leader of the so-called Action Party,
22:30has, I'm afraid, escaped with some of his followers.
22:34My other news is of even greater importance.
22:37As you all know,
22:38efforts have been made to destroy Object Z
22:40before it can reach us.
22:43Hitherto, these efforts have not met with much success.
22:46About 15 hours ago, however,
22:48a missile was successfully fired from Cape Kennedy.
22:53I need hardly say with what we relief
22:54we must all hear this news.
22:57No words could express the debt we owe
22:59to the scientists of every nation
23:00whose skill and devotion
23:02made this result possible.
23:05In a short time,
23:06we shall be giving you the results of the explosion,
23:09which are expected to be decisive.
23:12Good night,
23:13and bless you all.
23:14All we can do now is wait.
23:23And bless you all.
