00:00The End
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.
08:40And they're firing the rocket on Thursday, and they're firing the rocket on Thursday, and they're firing the rocket on Thursday, and they're firing the rocket on Thursday, and they're firing the rocket on Thursday, and they're firing the rocket on Thursday, and they're firing the rocket on Thursday, and they're firing the rocket on Thursday, and they're firing the rocket on Thursday, and they're firing the rocket on Thursday, and they're firing the rocket on Thursday, and they're firing the rocket on Thursday, and they're firing the rocket on Thursday, and they're firing the rocket on Thursday, and they're firing the rocket on Thursday, and they're firing the rocket on Thursday, and they're firing the rocket on Thursday, and they're firing the rocket on Thursday, and they're firing the rocket on Thursday, and they're firing the rocket on Thursday, and they're firing the rocket on Thursday, and they're firing the rocket on Thursday, and they're firing the rocket on Thursday, and they're firing the rocket on Thursday, and they're firing the
09:10The tracking installations
09:38extend for several hundred miles.
09:41Uninhabited country.
09:42Yes.
09:43You'll see the launching tower later on.
09:45I suppose that's where they're going to fire Minerva.
09:46Yes, that's correct.
09:47Look, that's all really interesting,
09:48but before you go,
09:50have you any inside information
09:51from the special branch, Captain Webb?
09:53As I always say to the press,
09:55no comment.
09:56That's exactly what I thought you'd say.
09:58Oh, I say, look, she's rather nice.
10:03You're looking very nice, Miss Winters,
10:04if I may say so.
10:05Thank you, Captain Webb.
10:06How nice of you to say so.
10:07The car should be here shortly.
10:10Oh, by the way,
10:11I'm sorry that our last meeting was so unfriendly.
10:14Well, that's all right.
10:14We were all under a bit of a strain.
10:16The Australian television people
10:17have put their stuff at your disposal.
10:18There's a chap called Grant
10:19in charge of arrangements.
10:21You'll meet him later on.
10:22I suppose you'll want to fly your report
10:23back to England.
10:24Yes, I will.
10:26I'll lay that on.
10:27I'm afraid I must see it first, though.
10:29Well, what on earth for?
10:31Well, it's a security angle again, I'm afraid.
10:33I'm supposed to see all taped or written reports
10:35before they go out.
10:36All right.
10:37I thought there weren't supposed to be
10:39any national secrets anymore.
10:40That's quite true.
10:42The Russians and the Americans
10:43are sharing their secrets.
10:44But the great thing is to keep people's spirits up.
10:47That's what the shelter building programs are for,
10:49as you know.
10:50They're not likely to be much use
10:51when it comes to the crunch.
10:54Who's in charge of operations here?
10:56Dr. Ramsey.
10:57Ah, here's the car.
10:59Are you ready?
10:59Yes, of course.
11:03I say, I wonder if you could help me.
11:04There was supposed to be a car here to meet me
11:06that hasn't turned up,
11:07and I've just got to get to Woomera.
11:08Dr. Ramsey?
11:22Yes?
11:23What happens if this thing goes wrong?
11:26We should just have to start again,
11:27shall we?
11:28Would there be time?
11:29I 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.
11:37The world's press are waiting, sir.
11:38Oh, thank you.
11:39Good luck, sir.
11:42Gentlemen, 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.
11:48Oh, yes, of course.
11:50Sorry our program got cut short.
11:52Well, we shall have to take it up again sometime.
11:54Yes.
11:55Well, gentlemen,
11:56quite an imposing array of talent.
11:58Eh?
11:59Well, I suppose I'd better begin.
12:01Now, in a few minutes,
12:03we're going to launch an extremely powerful missile
12:05into outer space.
12:06Now, the object of this
12:07is to explode a hydrogen bomb.
12:09This bomb is much more powerful
12:10than anything that we've ever constructed before.
12:13The point of impact
12:14should be about 600,000 miles from the Earth.
12:17Now, if this operation is successful,
12:19we hope to be able to destroy Object Z,
12:21or at any rate, deflect it from its course.
12:24Too late, sir.
12:24Well, as you can hear,
12:25there's very little time left.
12:27You'll be able to get a good view
12:28from 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
12:36than anything built before, isn't it?
12:37Yes, it is.
12:38Now, Object Z has been described
12:39as six miles across
12:40and covering a mass
12:41of several thousand million miles.
12:43This bomb that you're about to fire,
12:44can it make any impression on such a mass?
12:47Our calculations show
12:48that if it's made of stone,
12:50a direct hit might shatter the object completely.
12:53We should probably still have to face
12:55a bombardment of fragments,
12:56but that would certainly be less dangerous
12:58than a single object of this mass.
12:59What would it?
13:00What if Object Z is composed of nickel iron,
13:02as you said it may be?
13:04Then I'm afraid the effect would be
13:05less satisfactory.
13:08We might hope, however,
13:09to deflect it from its course.
13:11Under the conditions obtaining in outer space,
13:13even a light blow might move it from its path
13:15and alter its velocity.
13:16and produce large effects.
13:18What if this firing fails?
13:19I'm afraid there's no time
13:21for any more questions.
13:22You'll be able to get a complete view
13:23from these screens here.
13:25Now, this is a three-stage device.
13:28The first stage is composed of six Saturn rockets,
13:30developing a thrust of 1,500,000 pounds.
13:33At 1,600 miles,
13:35the second stage will be fired,
13:37developing a thrust of 600,000 pounds.
13:39The third stage will be fired,
13:41developing a thrust of 1,200 pounds
13:43at 9,600 miles.
13:45That's what the engineers tell us
13:47at any rate.
13:47My job has been to calculate
13:49a collision path.
13:49Six, five, four, three, two, one, zero.
13:55She's off course.
14:16What?
14:17What's the reading?
14:19Destruct.
14:19Doctor, destruct!
14:21What are you going to do now?
14:39What I told you that we might have to do.
14:42Start again.
14:42And although the results
14:51are not entirely satisfactory,
14:53much valuable information has been gained,
14:56and our chances of scoring a direct hit
14:58at the next attempt are vastly improved.
15:01It is very heartening indeed
15:03to see such unity among our people at this moment.
15:06It is even more heartening
15:08to see the unity which now exists
15:10between nations.
15:11All national and...
15:13Welcome back.
15:13Back.
15:15All distinctions of race...
15:16I gather that the first firing
15:19was even more of a frost
15:19than they've said.
15:21Total failure.
15:24It's all too complicated.
15:27You've got to get about 30 tons into orbit,
15:30set it off at a distance
15:31twice as great as the moon,
15:33and then hit an object moving
15:35at 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
15:45every facility at their disposal.
15:47Apparently, their tracking devices
15:49are better than the Russians.
15:50But the Russians have more powerful motors,
15:52so they've got together.
15:57Well, what's this?
16:05Britain must emerge
16:10from this supreme crisis
16:12as the world's greatest power.
16:15That is the destiny
16:16of the British people.
16:18The British race
16:19was born to rule,
16:21and this crisis
16:23was sent by Providence
16:25to give the British people
16:27their chance.
16:28And now what's going on?
16:29It's Keeler.
16:30Who?
16:31Keeler, leader of the action party,
16:32who's speaking from Propelver Square.
16:33The Russians and the Russians
16:34who have dispersed
16:35their armed forces,
16:37shared their secrets,
16:39stumped their aircraft,
16:40their missiles,
16:41their warships
16:42in the Atlantic.
16:43We must keep our arms.
16:46We must maintain
16:47our armed forces
16:48at concert pitch.
16:51We must keep the bomb.
16:54If we do this,
16:56if we do this,
16:57we shall emerge
16:59as the world's only
17:01armed power.
17:02And no one,
17:04but no one
17:05will be able to stop us
17:07or resist us.
17:09And then,
17:10then,
17:11we shall be able
17:11to fulfil our historic task
17:13to dominate
17:15the world.
17:17Listen!
17:19Listen!
17:20There are not enough
17:21shelters to go round.
17:22Did you know that?
17:23Not enough
17:24for one in ten of you.
17:26You death,
17:27death threat you all.
17:29And the government
17:30will do nothing about it.
17:32This looks nasty.
17:34How did you get to know
17:35about the shelters?
17:36About there not being
17:36enough to go round.
17:37It was becoming obvious,
17:38wasn't it?
17:40Down with the government!
17:41That is the only way
17:42to save yourselves!
17:43Down with the government!
17:44Down with those who have
17:46made such poor preparations!
17:48Down with the traitors
17:49who have lied to you
17:50and exposed you all
17:51to him and death!
17:52He's mad!
17:53So was Hitler.
17:54Look where he got to.
17:56He's certainly got the crowd
17:57behind him.
17:58How can they believe him?
18:00Building shelters
18:01for 40 million people
18:02in three weeks?
18:07Hello.
18:08Oh, hello, Bob.
18:10Ah, yes, yes.
18:11I've just been watching it.
18:12It was.
18:14What?
18:16Right.
18:16There's a crowd
18:18of 60,000 people
18:19marching on Whitehall
18:20at this moment.
18:21Well, get down there
18:22and cover it!
18:32Latest reports
18:32say that severe fighting
18:33continues in London
18:34where followers
18:35of the Action Party
18:36are engaged with
18:37troops and police.
18:39In a statement today,
18:40Sir John Shandos
18:40said that the government
18:41had removed Oxford
18:42because of the critical
18:43situation existing in London.
18:44And now, over to Peter Barry
18:47for a report of events
18:48recorded earlier today.
18:52From where I'm standing,
18:53I can see Whitehall.
18:55The streets are littered
18:56with broken glass
18:57from this afternoon's fighting.
18:59And you can see the barricades
19:00erected by the Action Party
19:01against the police.
19:04Firing is still going on.
19:07A car which was attacked earlier
19:09is still burning in the street.
19:12I can see a man
19:13lying in the street
19:14not far from here.
19:16No one dares cross the street
19:17to pick him up.
19:20As you saw on the news earlier,
19:22we're not the only country
19:23that's having trouble.
19:25In South America,
19:27the Middle East...
19:28Peter certainly laid it on
19:29with 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
19:37is mad with fear.
19:40More details
19:41in our next summary.
19:43The time is now 10.45.
19:45You must get some rest.
19:47I'm waiting for a report
19:48from Duncan.
19:49He's putting the latest figures
19:50through the computers.
19:51Should be ready
19:51in about half an hour.
19:52Well, will you rest then?
19:54What a pity.
19:55For the first time,
19:56I suppose, in history,
19:57the whole world was united.
20:00There's no national ambition,
20:02no threat of war.
20:04We were all brothers.
20:05Now everything's falling apart
20:08simply because
20:09a few ambitious men
20:10see this situation
20:12as a way to power.
20:18There was a chance, you know.
20:20If we survived,
20:21there was a chance
20:22to build a better world
20:23than we've ever known before.
20:25Without hatred,
20:27without...
20:28And now...
20:32But there's still a chance
20:33if this thing they're firing
20:34from 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.
20:46Nine.
21:15Eight.
21:16Seven, six, five, four, three, two, one.
21:40She's off. No 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.
21:55She'll be over Siberia in about 10 minutes.
21:57Those are the 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.
22:18Okay, bye-bye.
22:19I am happy to tell you that order has been restored in London as well as in the provinces.
22:26John Keillor, leader of the so-called Action Party, has, I'm afraid, escaped with some of his followers.
22:33My other news is of even greater importance.
22:36As you all know, efforts have been made to destroy Object Z before it can reach us.
22:42Hitherto, these efforts have not met with much success.
22:46About 15 hours ago, however, a missile was successfully fired from Cape Kennedy.
22:51I need hardly say with what we relief we must all hear this news.
22:57No words could express the debt we owe to the scientists of every nation whose skill and devotion made this result possible.
23:05In a short time, we shall be giving you the results of the explosion, which are expected to be decisive.
23:12Good night, and bless you all.
23:14All we can do now is wait.
23:44All we can do now is wait.
24:14All we can do now is wait.
24:30All we can do now is wait.
24:31All we can do now is wait.
