I know a thing or two about... leu... leukaemia and... and suchlike. 520 00:32:55,040 --> 00:32:59,670 I deliberately haven't spoken to my wife about this in the last few days. 521 00:32:59,760 --> 00:33:01,830 But, you know, I'm... 522 00:33:01,920 --> 00:33:04,275 I...

er, cellular lining of your intestine, 532 00:33:55,720 --> 00:33:59,793 with the result that your body fluids flow straight out 533 00:33:59,880 --> 00:34:03,270 from the raw inside of your intestine 534 00:34:03,360 --> 00:34:06,636 and you literally... dry out. 535 00:34:57,040 --> 00:34:58,473 This is the menu of a meal 536 00:34:58,560 --> 00:35:01,711 prepared by the welfare section of the Civil Defence Corps 537 00:35:01,800 --> 00:35:07,079 during an exercise supposed to take place after a thermo-nuclear attack. 538 00:35:07,160 --> 00:35:09,628 "Braised steak, carrots, sprouts, 539 00:35:09,720 --> 00:35:11,472 roast and mashed potatoes, 540 00:35:11,560 --> 00:35:15,030 steamed pudding, apple pie and custard." 541 00:35:20,520 --> 00:35:22,670 After a nuclear attack on the United States, 542 00:35:22,760 --> 00:35:25,558 would Americans live as they're accustomed to, 543 00:35:25,640 --> 00:35:29,952 with automobiles, ranch houses, television, freezers and so on? 544 00:35:30,040 --> 00:35:31,871 (Chuckles) No-one can say. 545 00:35:31,960 --> 00:35:37,114 We've got a bathful of water that hasn't been changed for five days. 546 00:35:37,200 --> 00:35:39,794 It's all the water we've got. 547 00:35:39,880 --> 00:35:42,235 We have to drink from it 548 00:35:42,320 --> 00:35:44,629 and have to cook with it 549 00:35:44,720 --> 00:35:46,233 and wash with it. 550 00:35:47,480 --> 00:35:50,438 At Hiroshima and Nagasaki, 551 00:35:50,520 --> 00:35:52,317 the population three months later 552 00:35:52,400 --> 00:35:57,349 was found to be apathetic and profoundly lethargic, 553 00:35:57,440 --> 00:35:59,476 people living often in their own filth, 554 00:35:59,560 --> 00:36:02,074 in total dejection and inertia. 555 00:36:14,400 --> 00:36:18,279 This baby boy has been bitten on the arm by a rat. 556 00:36:18,360 --> 00:36:21,193 There are now no medicines available 557 00:36:21,280 --> 00:36:24,989 to prevent the disease which may well follow. 558 00:36:25,800 --> 00:36:29,236 I was carrying a loaf of bread home today 559 00:36:29,320 --> 00:36:30,548 from my mother, 560 00:36:30,640 --> 00:36:33,473 who'd given it to me, 561 00:36:33,560 --> 00:36:37,155 when a guy comes up and offers me a pound for it. 562 00:36:39,120 --> 00:36:41,236 Well, what could I say? 563 00:36:42,240 --> 00:36:44,196 You can't eat a pound note. 564 00:36:44,280 --> 00:36:45,633 (Shouting) 565 00:36:48,640 --> 00:36:51,837 In the face of growing hunger riots, it is very possible 566 00:36:51,920 --> 00:36:56,835 that dwindling supplies of food would finally be kept as a form of bonus, 567 00:36:56,920 --> 00:37:01,391 for those who perform the precarious maintenance of law and order. 568 00:37:01,480 --> 00:37:03,038 The result of such partial feeding 569 00:37:03,120 --> 00:37:05,475 would in itself be almost inevitable. 570 00:37:11,520 --> 00:37:12,873 Get off me! 571 00:37:14,560 --> 00:37:19,395 On this day, the first food rioter is killed by the police in Kent. 572 00:37:22,920 --> 00:37:25,434 (Speech drowned out by shouting) 573 00:37:25,520 --> 00:37:27,909 Tell them to go back. 574 00:37:28,000 --> 00:37:29,274 One in the air. 575 00:37:29,360 --> 00:37:30,713 (Gunshots) 576 00:37:32,400 --> 00:37:33,753 (Horn) 577 00:37:33,840 --> 00:37:35,159 Two days later, 578 00:37:35,240 --> 00:37:37,071 as a direct result of this incident, 579 00:37:37,160 --> 00:37:40,948 a police ammunition truck and its contents are seized 580 00:37:41,040 --> 00:37:43,634 and its volunteer drivers murdered. 581 00:37:43,720 --> 00:37:45,676 (Shouting) 582 00:37:47,000 --> 00:37:49,150 (Man) String him up! 583 00:37:52,720 --> 00:37:54,517 Get 'im! 584 00:38:06,400 --> 00:38:09,551 In Germany during the last war, it was noticed that, 585 00:38:09,640 --> 00:38:12,996 with people who'd suffered personal loss or deprivation, 586 00:38:13,080 --> 00:38:16,356 even amongst the so-called decent middle class, 587 00:38:16,440 --> 00:38:20,513 there was a tendency to develop indifference towards the law 588 00:38:20,600 --> 00:38:23,558 and to indulge in looting, black market and petty theft. 589 00:38:25,320 --> 00:38:28,630 This is a Government Food Control Centre, 590 00:38:28,720 --> 00:38:33,111 seized and pilfered by armed anti-authority elements. 591 00:38:33,200 --> 00:38:36,909 This is Mrs Joyce Fisher from Gravesend. 592 00:38:37,000 --> 00:38:38,831 She was a housewife. 593 00:38:38,920 --> 00:38:40,797 Three yards from her, 594 00:38:40,880 --> 00:38:43,235 the bodies of the military guard. 595 00:38:46,600 --> 00:38:50,957 When morale falls, ideals fall and may go 596 00:38:51,040 --> 00:38:55,079 and behaviour becomes more primitive, more a thing of instinct. 597 00:38:56,160 --> 00:39:00,631 Three days later, the first policemen in Kent are killed. 598 00:39:00,720 --> 00:39:02,073 (Gunshots) 599 00:39:08,760 --> 00:39:11,069 Within the next 15 years, 600 00:39:11,160 --> 00:39:16,553 possibly another 12 countries will have acquired thermo-nuclear weapons. 601 00:39:16,640 --> 00:39:17,959 For this reason, 602 00:39:18,040 --> 00:39:22,795 if not through accident or the impulses of man himself... 603 00:39:22,880 --> 00:39:25,394 - Hold it. ...it is now more than possible 604 00:39:25,480 --> 00:39:28,233 that what you have seen happen in this film 605 00:39:28,320 --> 00:39:32,677 will have taken place before the year 1980. 606 00:39:33,640 --> 00:39:35,312 On the authority of the regional commissioner, 607 00:39:35,400 --> 00:39:38,676 under

people, 631 00:41:02,480 --> 00:41:07,793 haemorrhages around the gums will set in at about the four-month stage 632 00:41:07,880 --> 00:41:11,111 and then you're into the initial stages of scurvy, 633 00:41:11,200 --> 00:41:13,270 with swelling of the ankles 634 00:41:13,360 --> 00:41:16,113 and bleeding into the joints of your body. 635 00:41:16,200 --> 00:41:21,115 Stille Nacht 636 00:41:21,200 --> 00:41:25,113 Heilige Nacht/ 637 00:41:25,200 --> 00:41:27,509 December the 25th. 638 00:41:27,600 --> 00:41:30,910 A refugee compound in Dover, Kent, 639 00:41:31,000 --> 00:41:33,878 four months after the attack. 640 00:41:35,720 --> 00:41:44,037 Lieb' aus deinem g�ttlichen Mund 641 00:41:45,000 --> 00:41:48,470 Due to radiation, this little boy has only half 642 00:41:48,560 --> 00:41:51,632 the requisite number of red blood corpuscles. 643 00:41:51,720 --> 00:41:54,154 He will be bedridden for seven years, 644 00:41:54,240 --> 00:41:55,958 then he will die. 645 00:41:56,040 --> 00:41:58,838 This happened at Hiroshima. 646 00:41:59,440 --> 00:42:01,556 This girl is pregnant. 647 00:42:01,640 --> 00:42:04,632 Because of her constant exposure to radiation, 648 00:42:04,720 --> 00:42:09,077 she has no idea whether or not her baby will be born alive. 649 00:42:19,760 --> 00:42:23,878 The thing that terrifies me most is the little ones. 650 00:42:25,520 --> 00:42:30,071 If they've suffered badly from the effects of... 651 00:42:30,160 --> 00:42:35,029 of the sight of this horror and... destruction... 652 00:42:36,120 --> 00:42:39,635 it is probable that as a consequence 653 00:42:39,720 --> 00:42:46,239 some of them may... suffer... terrible character disorders. 654 00:42:49,760 --> 00:42:51,876 One just doesn't know. 655 00:42:52,960 --> 00:42:58,159 I saw one of the little boys in the compound here yesterday. 656 00:42:59,320 --> 00:43:02,153 He was bouncing around, 657 00:43:02,240 --> 00:43:05,152 playing hopscotch I think, 658 00:43:05,240 --> 00:43:07,913 and suddenly he sat down... 659 00:43:08,960 --> 00:43:11,554 as though he were very tired... 660 00:43:13,000 --> 00:43:16,276 and his face went listless... 661 00:43:17,640 --> 00:43:20,518 like that of an old man. 662 00:43:21,880 --> 00:43:25,509 These children are orphans of the attack. 663 00:43:25,600 --> 00:43:30,116 They were each asked what they now wanted to grow up to be. 664 00:43:30,200 --> 00:43:32,509 I don't want to be nothing. 665 00:43:32,600 --> 00:43:34,431 Neither do I. 666 00:43:34,520 --> 00:43:36,590 I don't want to be nothing. 667 00:43:36,680 --> 00:43:39,513 Neither do I want to be nothing. 668 00:43:46,800 --> 00:43:51,396 On almost the entire subject of thermo-nuclear weapons, 669 00:43:51,480 --> 00:43:53,914 on the problems of their possession, 670 00:43:54,000 --> 00:43:56,639 on the effects of their use, 671 00:43:56,720 --> 00:44:01,271 there is now practically a total silence in the press, 672 00:44:01,360 --> 00:44:03,590 in
