tweezzers, calamine lotion, war crisis editions,
lice-flea powder,

:27:06
rodent poison, insulin, blood-pressure tablets,
:27:09
rubber gloves, sanitary towels,
mirror, toilet paper, eyewash."

:27:14
I wonder if it's true about the paper bags.
:27:17
Or is it a joke?
:27:19
I never know if it's just a joke or not.
:27:22
What's that, dear?
:27:24
Well, they say you should get into a paper bag
just before the bomb goes off.

:27:30
Whatever for?
:27:33
I suppose it's like the white paint.
It er... deflects the heat a bit.

:27:37
- Sounds silly to me.
- There are some paper bags.

:27:42
We had spuds from the farm in them.
There should be four.

:27:45
They'll be filthy, James.
:27:49
Are you sure your bag is clean, James?
:27:52
Yes, dear, I... cleaned it thoroughly.
:27:59
You do look silly!
:28:03
I wonder if it's all right to have eyeholes.
:28:07
They say it's the correct thing to wear white.
:28:10
People in Hiroshima with patterned clothes
got burned where the pattern was,

:28:14
and not so much on the white bits.
:28:17
Even the buttons showed up.
:28:18
Yes, but they were Japanese.
:28:22
Is there a clean white shirt, dear,
ready for the bomb?

:28:24
You're not going to wear that nice new one
I gave you for Christmas!

:28:28
I don't want that spoiled.
:28:30
You can wear your old clothes for the bomb
and save the best for afterwards.

:28:34
All right, dear.
Well, is there an old white one, without stripes?

:28:38
I don't want stripes all over me.
:28:39
I've never heard such nonsense.
:28:41
We didn't think what colour clothes we had on
in the war.

:28:45
Lucky to have any clothes at all,
with everything on coupons.

:28:48
We interrupt this programme
for an official government announcement.

:28:52
An enemy missile attack has been launched
against this country.

:28:55
- It is estimated that the missiles
:28:58
will arrive in approximately three minutes.
Three minutes.
