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.
08:40Well, you've got to go.
08:42What?
08:44You've got to go.
08:46Whoah!
08:50Whoah!
09:21The tracking installations extend 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.
09:47Well, look, that's all really interesting, but before you go, have you any inside information
09:51from 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.
10:03You're looking very nice, Miss Winters, if I may say so.
10:05Thank you, Captain Webb.
10:06How nice of you to say so.
10:08The car should be here shortly.
10:09Oh, by the way, I'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 have put their stuff at your disposal.
10:18There's a chap called Grant in charge of arrangements.
10:21You'll meet him later on.
10:22I suppose you'll want to fly your report back to England.
10:24Ah, yes, 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 the security angle again, I'm afraid.
10:33I'm supposed to see all taped or written reports before they go out.
10:35All right.
10:38I thought there weren't supposed to be any national secrets anymore.
10:40That's quite true.
10:42The Russians and the Americans are 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, as you know.
10:50They're not likely to be much use when 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.
11:02I say, I wonder if you could help me.
11:04There was supposed to be a car here to meet me, but it hasn't turned up,
11:07and I've just got to get to Woomera.
11:21Dr. Ramsey?
11:22Yes?
11:23What happens if this thing goes wrong?
11:26We should just have to start again, shall 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 awaiting, 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, quite an imposing array of talent.
11:58Eh?
11:59Well, I suppose I'd better begin.
12:01Now, in a few minutes, we are going to launch an extremely powerful missile into outer space.
12:06Now, the object of this is to explode a hydrogen bomb.
12:09This bomb is much more powerful than anything that we've ever constructed before.
12:13The 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.
12:24Well, as you can hear, there's very little time left.
12:27You'll be able to get a good view from the liftoff from these screams 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?
12:37Yes, it is.
12:37Now, Object Z has been described as six miles across and covering a mass of several thousand million miles.
12:43This bomb that you're about to fire, can it make any impression on such a mass?
12:47Our calculations show that if it's made of stone, a direct hit might shatter the object completely.
12:53We should probably still have to face a bombardment of fragments, but that would certainly be less dangerous than a single object of this mass.
12:59Well, you know what?
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.
13:11Under the conditions obtaining in outer space, even a light blow might move it from its path and alter its velocity and produce large effects.
13:18What if this firing fakes?
13:19I'm afraid there's no time for any more questions.
13:22You'll be able to get a complete view from these screams here.
13:25Now, this is a three-stage device.
13:27The first stage is composed of six Saturn rockets developing a thrust of 1,500,000 pounds.
13:33At 1,600 miles, the second stage will be fired developing a thrust of 600,000 pounds.
13:39The third stage will be fired developing a thrust of 1,200 pounds at 9,600 miles.
13:45That'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.
14:03Five, four, three, three, three, one.
14:12Four, four, four, four, five, four, five, five, five.
14:15She's off course.
14:16What?
14:17What's the reading?
14:19Destruct.
14:19Doctor.
14:20Destruct.
14:21Destruct.
14:22What are you going to do now?
14:39What I told you that we might have to do.
14:42Start again.
14:42Start again.
15:12Welcome back.
15:16I gather that the first firing was even more of a frost than they've said.
15:20Total failure.
15:23It's all too complicated.
15:26You'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.
15:36It's just not on.
15:37The Russians are trying next week. Guess where they're firing it from?
15:40Frigadilly Circus.
15:42Cape Kennedy.
15:43What?
15:44The Americans have put every facility at their disposal.
15:46Apparently, their tracking devices are better than the Russians.
15:49But the Russians have more powerful motors, so they've got together.
15:52Well, what's this?
15:53Britain must emerge from this supreme crisis at the world's greatest hour.
15:58That is the destiny of the British people.
15:59The British race was born to rule, and this crisis was sent by Providence to give the British
16:00people their chance.
16:01Well, now what's going on?
16:02It's Keeler.
16:03Who?
16:04Keeler, leader of the Action Party, who's speaking from Propelver Square.
16:05The Russians, who?
16:06The Russians, who?
16:07The Russians, who?
16:08The Russians, who?
16:09The Russians, who have dispersed their armed forces, shared their secrets, stumped their
16:12air force.
16:13It's Keeler.
16:14It's Keeler.
16:15Their missiles, their warships in the Atlantic.
16:16We must keep our arms.
16:17It is the destiny of the British people.
16:18The British race was born to rule, and this crisis was sent by Providence to give the
16:22British people their chance.
16:27And now what's going on?
16:28It's Keeler.
16:29Who?
16:30Keeler, leader of the Action Party, who's speaking from Propelver Square.
16:33The Russians, who have dispersed their armed forces, shared their secrets, stumped their
16:38aircraft, their missiles, their warships in the Atlantic.
16:42We must keep our arms.
16:45We must retain our armed forces at concert pitch.
16:50We must keep the bomb.
16:53If we do this, if we do this, we shall emerge as the world's only armed power.
17:02And no one, but no one will be able to stop us or resist us.
17:08And then, then, we shall be able to fulfil our historic task to dominate the world.
17:17Listen!
17:18Listen!
17:19There are not enough shelters to go round!
17:21Did you know that?
17:22Not enough for one in ten of you!
17:25You death, death threat you all!
17:28And the government will do nothing about it!
17:31This looks nasty.
17:32How did you get to know about the shelters?
17:35About there not being enough to go round.
17:37It was becoming obvious, wasn't it?
17:38Down with the government!
17:40That is the only way to save yourselves!
17:42Down with the government!
17:43Down with those who have made such poor preparations!
17:46Down with the traitors who have lied to you and exposed you all to him and death!
17:51He's mad!
17:52So was Hitler.
17:53Look where he got to.
17:54He's certainly got the crowd behind him.
17:57How can they believe him?
17:59Building shelters for 40 million people in three weeks?
18:02Hello.
18:03Oh, hello, Bob.
18:05Ah, yes, yes, I've just been watching it.
18:06It was.
18:07What?
18:08Right.
18:09There's a crowd of 60,000 people marching on Whitehall at this moment.
18:20Well, get down there and cover it!
18:22Latest reports say that severe fighting continues in London, where followers of the Action Party are engaged with groups and police.
18:37In a statement today, Sir John Shandos said that the government had removed Oxford because of the critical situation existing in London.
18:44And now, over to Peter Barry for a report of events recorded earlier today.
18:49And where I'm standing, I can see Whitehall.
18:54The streets are littered with broken glass from this afternoon's fighting.
18:58And you can see the barricades erected by the Action Party against the police.
19:02Firing is still going on.
19:05A car which was attacked earlier is still burning in the street.
19:10And I can see a man lying in the street not far from here.
19:14No one dares cross the street to pick him up.
19:18As you saw on the news earlier, we're not the only country that's having trouble.
19:24In South America, the Middle East...
19:27Peter certainly laid it on with the trial.
19:29Yes, but it's good.
19:30In Africa, tribal war.
19:31Even in the United States, there's revolt and confusion.
19:34The whole world is mad with fear.
19:37More details in our next summary.
19:41The time is now 10.45.
19:44You must get some rest.
19:46I'm waiting for a report from Duncan.
19:47He's putting the latest figures through the computers.
19:49Should be ready in about half an hour.
19:51Well, will you rest then?
19:52What a pity.
19:53For the first time, I suppose, in history, the whole world was united.
19:58There's no national ambition, no threat of war.
20:03We were all brothers.
20:05Now everything's falling apart simply because a few ambitious men see this situation as a way to power.
20:13There was a chance, you know.
20:19If we survived, there was a chance to build a better world than we've ever known before.
20:24Without hatred, without...
20:31And now...
20:32But there's still a chance if this thing they're firing from Kate Kennedy works.
20:35It must work.
20:36There won't be a second chance.
20:38What time are they firing back us?
20:4111.30.
20:44Half an hour.
21:11Nine.
21:14Eight.
21:15Seven.
21:16Six.
21:17Five.
21:18Four.
21:19Three.
21:20Two.
21:22One.
21:23Two.
21:24Four.
21:25Four.
21:26Three.
21:27Four.
21:28One.
21:29Four.
21:30Four.
21:31Four.
21:33One.
21:34Four.
21:39Four.
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.
21:46What?
21:48All right, thank you.
21:51How's it going? Fine.
21:53The deck is tracking her.
21:55She'll be over Siberia in about ten minutes.
21:57Those the figures? Yes.
22:00The course is unchanged.
22:02She's heading straight for us.
22:14I think it's time for the Prime Minister's statement.
22:17Okay, bye-bye.
22:20I am happy to tell you that order has been restored in London as well as in the provinces.
22:26John Keeler, 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.
22:45About 15 hours ago, however, a missile was successfully fired from Cape Kennedy.
22:52I need hardly say with what we relief we must all hear this news.
22:55No words could express the debt we owe to the scientists of every nation whose skill and devotion made this result possible.
23:04In a short time, we shall be giving you the results of the explosion, which are expected to be decisive.
23:10Good night, and bless you all.
23:20All we can do now is wait.
23:22Good night.
