01:06THE END
01:08THE END
01:10There's anything there.
01:11A comet?
01:12Could be.
01:13The proper motion's too high, though.
01:16The definition's sharper than any comet I'd rather see.
01:19Me too.
01:20When did you first see it?
01:21Three weeks ago.
01:22It came up on the last batch of plates.
01:24Well, let's have a look at it again.
01:25Could be.
01:26We're both mistaken.
01:27Could be.
01:28Here we are.
01:29This is our greatest treasure.
01:31Oh, can I stop you for a minute?
01:33This is Peter...
01:34Oh, I say, I'm terribly sorry.
01:36I've forgotten your name.
01:37Barry.
01:38Yes, of course.
01:39How stupid of me.
01:41Peter Barry.
01:42June Chalice.
01:43How do you do?
01:44Hello.
01:45Robert Duncan.
01:46How do you do?
01:47Peter's with UK Television.
01:48He's working on a series about...
01:50What was it now?
01:51New developments in metallurgy.
01:53Oh, yes.
01:54Bit out of my line, I'm afraid.
01:55New developments in metallurgy?
01:56Oh, dear.
01:57Yes, I know what you mean.
01:59We run a weekly programme called The Latest in Science.
02:02Oh.
02:03This should be good for three or four programmes.
02:05I hope you won't think me dense, but...
02:07What are you doing in an observatory?
02:09Well, all's grist to our mill.
02:11And Dr Ramsay here has very kindly offered to assist us with a programme on astronomy.
02:15A series of programmes.
02:16I missed him by inches in London, so I thought I'd try and run him to earth here in Scotland.
02:20And he caught me.
02:21Actually, it's these two you should be talking to.
02:23I'm only a visitor here.
02:24Dr Grundy's in charge, but he's in Canada.
02:26How many programmes are you doing?
02:28On astronomy, six, I think.
02:29Six?
02:30Yes, I know.
02:31It's not enough.
02:32What are you calling them?
02:34Hmm?
02:35Oh, I don't know.
02:36The floor of heaven, perhaps.
02:43What are you thinking about?
02:44What?
02:45Oh, I was...
02:46I was just wondering if there's anyone or anything up there.
02:52Sending us radio signals, perhaps, century after century.
02:55I wondered if anyone might be receiving them.
02:57It would take a long time.
02:58The nearest star is four light years away.
03:01We've been sending signals into space, haven't we?
03:04You never know.
03:05Someone or something might pick them up.
03:07Intelligence out there?
03:09Maybe.
03:10If so, let's hope they have the intelligence to leave us alone.
03:15What on earth is that?
03:16Oh, that's what we call a blink comparator.
03:18A what?
03:19A blink microscope.
03:21You take two pictures of the same star region taken at different times.
03:24And you superimpose them like this.
03:26I'm sorry, I don't get it.
03:28Well, normally, stars remain unchanged in their positions.
03:30That's why they're called fixed stars.
03:32But if anything new appears, like a new star, for instance,
03:35it'll appear on one plate and not the other.
03:38And by flicking the plates on and off,
03:40you can see the stars blinking on and off.
03:42You can observe the effect very easily,
03:44even in a region crowded with stars.
03:46Oh, I see.
03:47Look at this.
03:51Oh, I see.
03:52Just off centre there, it's blinking at me.
03:55Exactly.
03:56Those two plates were taken at an interval of three weeks.
03:59And since the first plate was taken, the new objects appear.
04:02Oh.
04:03And what is it?
04:04It's a nova.
04:05A huge explosion in space.
04:07A nova?
04:08Well, the only nova I'm familiar with is a bossy nova.
04:11What?
04:12Never mind.
04:13Oh, I see.
04:14Well, look, let me explain.
04:15Every now and again, a star so faint that one can't normally see it explodes.
04:19Like a hydrogen bomb.
04:21It's still just a point of light, however, because of the distance.
04:24Let's see now.
04:25This star cluster, for instance, that's about, what, 1800 light years away?
04:30That's quite an explosion.
04:31It all happened a long time ago, of course.
04:33This bang took place about the time of Nero.
04:35We're just getting the news of it now, as it were.
04:37Well, that's good stuff.
04:38We must try and get that into the programme.
04:40Well, I must be off.
04:41Well, Dr. Ansey, I'm very grateful for all your help.
04:44Perhaps you'll call in and see us the moment you arrive in London.
04:47UK Television will find me.
04:48Certainly, Mr. Murray.
04:50Barry.
04:51Oh, I'm terribly sorry.
04:52Goodbye.
04:53Goodbye.
04:54Goodbye.
04:55Bye.
04:58It isn't an over.
04:59What?
05:00It isn't an over, sir.
05:01What do you mean?
05:02Look at that.
05:03September the 10th, nothing.
05:08Yeah.
05:09September the 15th, it's there.
05:14Yes.
05:16September the 25th.
05:18Now, look at that.
05:20Good heavens.
05:21Look at the proper motion.
05:23June, get a message off to Harvard.
05:25When first observed, a position, proper motion and magnitude.
05:30We must try and trace the speed.
05:34Come on.
05:35Come on, have a good look at this.
05:39Diana.
05:40Get me another coffee, will you?
05:41Here it is.
05:43Not over my scripts, love.
05:44What's Merchant talking about?
05:45Thermodynamics.
05:46Oh.
05:47Hello, hello.
05:48Nobody doing anything.
05:49Hello, Peter.
05:50How are you?
05:51Hello, my lovely.
05:52Here.
05:53Did you get hold of Ramsay?
05:54Yes.
05:55I roughed out a programme.
05:56He's going to do six programmes for us starting on the 40th.
05:57Good man.
05:58What about money?
05:59Well, that's up to you.
06:00Here it is. Thank you. Not over my scripts, love.
06:04What's Merchant talking about?
06:07Thermodynamics.
06:08Hello, hello. Nobody doing anything.
06:10Hello, Peter. How are you?
06:11Hello, my lovely. Here.
06:13Did you get hold of Ramsay?
06:15Yes. I roughed out a programme.
06:17He's going to do six programmes for us starting on the 40th.
06:20Good man. What about money?
06:21Well, that's up to you.
06:23I told him to contact you the moment he arrived.
06:26Right. Peter.
06:28Uh-huh.
06:29Where did you see him?
06:31A few days ago. Why?
06:33Did you say anything about a comet?
06:35There's a... A comet? No. Why?
06:38Oh, he did mention a star that they'd seen on the great telescope.
06:41What was it? He said it was called a Nova.
06:43That's a star exploding in space.
06:45Well, it isn't.
06:46We've had a whole lot of reports these last few days about a comet.
06:49Look, Russia, South Africa, Japan, the United States.
06:52Half the world's observatories have reported it.
06:55And they all say the first report came from Ramsay.
06:58Well, then why would he say it was a Nova?
07:01Exactly.
07:02Hello.
07:03He's England's top astronomer.
07:04An expert on spectroscopy.
07:06Oh, yes. Okay. Wait a minute.
07:07Fellow of the Royal Society.
07:09Do you think he'd make a simple mistake like that?
07:11No, I don't.
07:12Excuse me. He's here.
07:13Who?
07:14Dr Ramsay.
07:15He's in reception.
07:16Ask him to come up.
07:17Hello.
07:18Peter, this is your charm.
07:19Here's your bird.
07:20Hates authority.
07:21Loves to throw a span into the works.
07:22Yeah.
07:23Remember the row he had with the atomic energy people last year?
07:25Yes, I covered it.
07:26See if he can get a story.
07:27Trip him up.
07:28Ask him why he said it was a Nova when he knew damn well it wasn't.
07:30Ask him if he's under security.
07:32Brian?
07:33Dr Ramsay.
07:34So nice to meet you.
07:35How do you do?
07:36You know Peter, of course.
07:37Yes.
07:38Hello, Doctor. Nice to see you again.
07:39Did you have a good trip?
07:40Yes, thank you. It was very nice.
07:41Diana will get us some coffee.
07:43I hope you don't mind paper cups.
07:44Not at all.
07:45Will you sit down?
07:46I'll just get these scripts out of your way.
07:49Over to you, Peter.
07:51Right. Thank you.
07:53Well, Doctor, I've roughed out a script for the first programme.
07:56Perhaps you'd like to have a look at it.
07:59Doctor, you remember that object you showed me at the observatory?
08:04Yes, we've all been doing quite a lot of work on it.
08:07There's Rickover at Palomar, Young in South Africa and Baranov in Russia.
08:11How far away is it?
08:12Well, it's difficult to establish the distance, but it's several million miles.
08:15Several million?
08:16It must be enormous.
08:18Yes, it is.
08:19Well, let's say, for example, that it's three million miles away.
08:22It would have to be at least six miles across to be visible,
08:25even to our most powerful instruments.
08:27Six miles?
08:28On the other hand, it might be ten or twenty times further away,
08:32in which case it would have to be much larger.
08:34And what's happening about it now?
08:36Well, Chalice and Duncan are working on it at the observatory.
08:39They're going to let me have their results as soon as possible.
08:41Well, when will that be?
08:42In about a week, I think.
08:46One thing's quite clear, though.
08:48It's not of terrestrial origin.
08:51And it's not a comet?
08:52No, we're quite certain of that.
08:55Then what is it?
08:57That's what the observatories of the world are trying so hard to find out.
09:02Proper motion, fourteen seconds of arc in twenty-four hours.
09:09Ascension twenty-four sixteen four.
09:12Declination thirty-nine fourteen twelve.
09:15Further observations will be made at twelve hundred hours GMT.
09:19I've just heard from George Robbins.
09:21They've established the distance.
09:22I'm more interested in that.
09:23I've just heard from George Robbins.
09:24They've established the distance.
09:25I'm more interested in finding its course.
09:26Looks to me as if it's going to come pretty close.
09:28Well, I've got the graphs.
09:29But this way they should approach within a few seconds.
09:30They've established the distance.
09:31I've just heard from George Robbins.
09:32They've established the distance.
09:33I'm more interested in finding its course.
09:37It looks to me as if it's going to come pretty close.
09:38I've got the graphs.
09:40I've just heard from Joggle Bank.
09:47They've established the distance.
09:48I'm more interested in finding its course.
09:50It looks to me as if it's going to come pretty close.
09:52I've got the graphs.
09:53This rate it should approach within a few hundred thousand miles.
09:56Quite a spectacle.
09:57Yes, and it's growing brighter.
09:59It should be visible without instruments in a couple of days.
10:01How's Mike getting on?
10:02Stuff's pouring in all the time.
10:04He's feeding the computer as fast as he can.
10:06But the results won't be through for a while.
10:10Shouldn't you have some rest?
10:13You've been at it since six o'clock.
10:15Oh, I'm almost through.
10:17Robert, what do you make of it?
10:19The object.
10:20I wish I knew.
10:22I've never seen anything like it before.
10:24Nor has anyone else, it seems.
10:26It's the brightness I find most strange.
10:28It's not what you'd expect from a cold body of that size.
10:31Perhaps it's composed of snow or frozen hydrogen.
10:33That would have a high reflecting power.
10:35Yes.
10:36Its mass must be enormous.
10:38Even if it is snow.
10:39And if it's rock, have they worked it out yet?
10:42Its mass?
10:43No.
10:45Ah.
10:46I've been comparing its course with the earth's orbit.
10:50Are Duncan here?
10:51Yes.
10:56I see.
11:01Well, how close is it going to come?
11:04Are we going to be able to see it?
11:09It's heading straight for us.
11:10guise,
11:24no.
11:29Well,
11:33there are a lot of we're going to be able to see it as well.
11:34Let's go.
12:03Ah, Prime Minister.
12:04Here's the report.
12:05Thank you. What time does Ramsey arrive?
12:07He was due in a London airport an hour ago.
12:10I sent a car, of course, so he should be here at any moment now.
12:13Good.
12:15Well, according to this, there's no change.
12:18Object Z, as they're calling it now,
12:20is approaching the Earth at high speed.
12:23When will it strike?
12:25If this report is correct,
12:27in about six weeks.
12:30Six weeks?
12:34If my memory is correct,
12:36the Earth moves around the Sun at a speed of 16 miles per second.
12:40This thing's moving at about 15, isn't it?
12:43That's right.
12:44I'm thinking of relative speeds, John.
12:46If the Earth and this thing are moving in the same direction,
12:49the speed of impact might be quite low.
12:51There might be merely a graze.
12:53Unfortunately, this object is approaching the Earth directly into our orbit.
12:57So we combine the speeds, 13 miles a second.
13:01That's right.
13:04Good evening, Prime Minister.
13:06Good evening, Ramsey.
13:07Do sit down.
13:10You have your report for me?
13:12Yes.
13:16There's no change, I'm afraid.
13:18Can you say whether it will collide directly with the Earth
13:21or strike a glancing blow?
13:24And its course at present is almost in the plane of the Earth's orbit.
13:27It's likely, for reasons which I won't bother with at the moment,
13:30to strike a glancing blow.
13:32But even a glancing blow with an object six miles across,
13:35travelling at a combined speed of 30 miles a second,
13:38is likely to be a serious matter.
13:40How serious?
13:41Well, that depends on its composition.
13:43There are two kinds of meteors,
13:45the stony and the metallic.
13:47If this object is stony,
13:48then there's a chance that we might survive the impact.
13:51Some of us, at any rate.
13:53If it's metallic?
13:54Yes.
13:57Then I'm afraid the impact would be quite sufficient
13:59to destroy all life on Earth.
14:01I'm sorry to have to tell you this grim news.
14:18You have no way of telling whether it's stony or metallic?
14:22I'm afraid not.
14:24These shelters we're going to build, will they help?
14:28As you know, every country on Earth is planning shelters.
14:30Will they be of any use?
14:31Not if this thing is metallic.
14:34There is one hope, though.
14:36Only a slight hope, I admit, but...
14:38Well, go on.
14:39We've managed to chart the course of this object
14:40with some considerable accuracy.
14:42I believe that we might be able to destroy it,
14:45or at least deflect it from its course in space.
14:48How do you mean with a bomb?
14:49Do you mean hit it with a missile of some sort?
14:52Sure.
14:53Could that be done?
14:54It's impossible.
14:55The problem of hitting it with the bomb
14:56of sufficient power to destroy it is very difficult.
14:59We would need a vehicle at least three times as powerful
15:02as anything that we have at the moment.
15:04And we would need the equivalent of a 400 megaton bomb.
15:08400 megaton?
15:10That's twice as large as anything in existence.
15:13Yes, it is.
15:14Could we build such a machine in time?
15:16I'm not an engineer, sir, but I believe that it could be done.
15:18If we pool our resources with the Americans and the Russians,
15:22then the project is feasible.
15:27I'm attending the World Conference next week.
15:29I'll bring the matter up.
15:48Well, that's that.
16:05Tired?
16:06A bit.
16:07I find it so strange to think that we're two of the 20 or 30 people in the whole world
16:12who are in on the secret.
16:14What do you think they'll do?
16:16When they find out, you mean?
16:17Oh, I don't know.
16:19Depends on your temperament, I suppose.
16:22Some people will pray.
16:23Some people will take to drink.
16:26Thanks.
16:27Some people will do themselves in rather than face it.
16:30Well, most people will carry on as usual, I should think.
16:33There's nothing much else they can do.
16:34Of course, they may be able to keep it from everyone until...
16:36Until the Big Bang.
16:38Well, I suppose that would be best.
16:40Everybody looking at it.
16:42Brighter than the full moon.
16:44The most striking thing the world has ever seen.
16:49And then the impact.
16:51All over in a moment.
16:52No fuss or pain.
16:54What will you do?
16:57What, with my last few days?
17:00Well...
17:06I'd like to begin by marrying you.
17:08I mean it, June.
17:11I can't offer you much future.
17:13Six weeks, to be exact.
17:16But I'd like to spend them with you.
17:20What do you say?
17:25I don't want to have to cut that.
17:26We'll see how the time goes.
17:28This is a point.
17:29If we can get through to there, in the time, we'll keep it.
17:31One minute, studio.
17:32Then you're off.
17:33One minute.
17:34I'll have a look here.
17:35Well, if you will.
17:36That's right.
17:37Dr Ramsey, I must get up to the box.
17:39Good luck.
17:40It's all going to be splendid.
17:41Good luck.
17:42Hurry, Brian.
17:43Good luck.
17:44Good luck.
17:47Fifteen seconds.
17:48Good luck, doctor.
17:49Don't worry about a thing.
17:50It'll be fine.
17:51Doctor, can you sit here, please?
17:52Okay.
17:57You have to do a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit, I suppose.
17:58Yes, I suppose so.
17:59Thirty seconds.
18:00I must go.
18:01Good luck.
18:03What are you doing here?
18:04We start in a moment.
18:05We're from the observatory in Scotland.
18:06We came straight here to wish him luck.
18:07Get rid of him, for heaven's sake.
18:08Come on, this way, please.
18:09Good luck.
18:10Good luck.
18:11Oh, thank you.
18:12Fifteen seconds.
18:13Good luck, doctor.
18:14Don't worry about a thing.
18:15It'll be fine.
18:16Doctor, can you sit here, please?
18:17Ten seconds.
18:20Nine.
18:21Eight.
18:22Seven.
18:23Six.
18:24Five.
18:25Music on captions.
18:27Stand by.
18:32Few of us could have looked at the night sky
18:34without beginning to ask some profound questions.
18:38Is space infinite?
18:40How did those millions of stars,
18:42those galaxies thousands of light years across
18:45and millions of light years away come into existence?
18:48Did the universe have a beginning?
18:50And will it have an end?
18:52In the next six weeks...
18:55In the next six weeks,
19:01I will try to give the answers to some of these questions.
19:06Six weeks is a short time.
19:10What's the matter with him?
19:12Come on, man, come on.
19:14I thought for a moment he was going to break down.
19:16So did I.
19:17You should never have come through this.
19:18Excuse me.
19:19Let us consider...
19:20The name's Wade.
19:21Captain Wade.
19:22Security.
19:23You're June Chalice, aren't you?
19:24Yes.
19:25You're Duncan?
19:26Yes.
19:27Security?
19:28Yes.
19:29Special branch.
19:30Won't you stay?
19:31If I may.
19:32I mean that the whole process probably took millions of years.
19:35At this very moment there are thousands of gaseous clouds in space.
19:39Thank you, Doctor.
19:44Before we close the programme, I'd like to ask your opinion on something which I'm sure is in the mind of all our viewers.
19:49This new object that's been seen in the sky is causing such a sensation throughout the world.
19:54Has anything like it ever been seen before?
19:56How do you mean?
19:57Well, is it a comet?
19:58Oh, I see.
19:59No, it's not a comet.
20:00A comet, as I've said before, is not a solid object.
20:03It usually, though not always, exhibits a tail.
20:06The object that we're seeing has no tail.
20:09It appears to be solid, like a meteor.
20:11A meteor.
20:12How far away is it?
20:13Oh, several million miles.
20:14Of course, in astronomical terms it's really very close, but it is several million miles away.
20:18Is it likely to get any nearer?
20:20Yes, in the next few weeks it's likely to become a very brilliant object.
20:24How close will it come to the Earth?
20:26Oh, quite close.
20:28Yes, but how close, Doctor?
20:30Is there any danger of it striking the Earth?
20:32Oh, it's most unlikely.
20:33But it could happen.
20:34Yes, it could happen.
20:35The Earth is constantly being bombarded.
20:37Thank you, Doctor Ramsey.
20:38Well, that was the first of a series of talks on astronomy by Doctor Ramsey entitled The Great Machine.
20:42That's all for this week.
20:44Until next week, good night.
20:45Just a moment.
20:56That was fine.
20:57Fine.
20:58You're clear now.
21:00Excuse me, sir.
21:01Can I speak to you for a moment?
21:02Yes.
21:03What do you mean by barging in like us?
21:04Don't you know that...
21:05I'm from security.
21:06I don't care if you're Albus Presley.
21:07I won't have any...
21:08Prime Minister's on now.
21:09I think he will explain if you will watch.
21:10I come before you tonight with news of the gravest importance to this country and to
21:17the world.
21:18Those of you who are at work, I ask you to lay that work aside for the moment and listen
21:25to what I have to say.
21:27A few hours ago, I was present at a conference at which every nation of the world was represented
21:35because the whole world is threatened by a danger which transcends political and national
21:44considerations of any kind.
21:47The message I bring is this.
21:50An object from outer space may well pass close to the earth before going on into the vastness of space.
21:57It is possible, and I tell you this in the light of the best scientific advice available, that it may strike the earth a glancing blow.
22:06It is even possible that it may score what I can only describe as a direct hit.
22:12It is for this reason that work has begun on the building of shelters against the impact.
22:17As I told you, this thing may well pass us by.
22:21However, should this object collide with the earth, the shock will be very grave.
22:28And the provision of adequate shelters is the best chance we have of preventing severe loss of life.
22:36It is for this reason that I have asked members of the opposition to join me at this moment in forming a national government,
22:44so that this country may be truly united in the face of the grave danger.
22:50In the meantime, I ask for calm.
22:54I ask all those of you who are listening to me to set an example of courage and discipline
23:01in face of the grave danger which threatens us all.
23:05Good night.
23:07So that's it. I suppose you knew all about it.
23:10Yes, I did.
23:11Well, Doctor, how long have we got? About six weeks.
23:13For security reasons, I'd rather you didn't answer that.
23:15Now, just a minute. Who the hell do you think you are?
23:16Will you come with me, sir?
23:17You too, Miss Jealous.
23:18Mr. Duncan, if you don't mind.
23:21I'm sorry to have to hustle you off like this, sir.
23:23But there's a plane waiting. There's a car outside.
23:25Where are we going?
23:26Woomera, sir. In Australia.
23:27Woomera?
23:28Yes, sir. That's why I must ask you to hurry.
23:30The plane leaves in a couple of hours.
23:31It's what I do about those and things.
23:34Well, well.
23:35So that's it.
23:36Poor devil, no wonder he was so rattled.
23:38He knew all the time, but he was under pressure from security.
23:41What a day.
23:42Well, let's get out of here.
23:44Good night, Brian.
23:45Good night.
23:46See you tomorrow.
23:47Let's go and have a coffee, shall we?
23:51It's good to get a bit of fresh air.
23:52Yeah.
23:55Is it my imagination or is it getting brighter?
23:57It's your imagination.
24:01Just six weeks to live.
24:12You.
24:13I'm sorry.
24:14Really.
24:15It's my imagination.
24:16Oh my God.
24:17You're right.
24:19Oh.
24:20Oh.
24:21Oh.
24:22Oh.
24:24Oh.
24:25You're right.
24:26You're right.
24:27Oh.
24:28Oh.
24:29Oh.
24:30Oh.
24:31Oh.
24:32Oh.
24:33Oh.
24:34Oh.
24:35Oh.
