:56:00
It may prejudice our chance of survival.
:56:03
What do you mean, James?
We have survived, haven't we?
:56:06
Yes, I know. But after the bombs on Japan,
people died ages later.
:56:13
I... forget exactly why.
:56:15
Perhaps they didn't take precautions.
:56:18
Yes. I expect they neglected to do
the correct thing and...
:56:22
Oh, and anyway, that was years ago.
:56:24
Science was in its infancy.
:56:26
We're better equipped to deal with the situation
in the light of modern scientific knowledge.
:56:30
Oh, yes. Nowadays, there's bound to be all sorts
of anditotes and protectives.
:56:36
When the medics get through, they'll probably
just spray us with some anditote,
:56:41
give us a couple of pills, and in no time,
we'll be as right as rain.
:56:49
I'm glad we moved to the country
when you retired, dear.
:56:53
Yes. Much more peaceful.
:56:56
If we'd still been in London,
we'd probably have been bombed out by now.
:57:00
Yes. Unless we'd been evacuated.
:57:03
Oh, that was only children.
And women too, of course.
:57:06
I'd have been requisitioned
for essential war work.
:57:10
But you're far too old.
:57:12
You're retired.
:57:14
Yes, but all age groups
are pressed into emergency service
:57:18
during times of national emergency, dear.
:57:21
- I'd have been an air-raid warden.
:57:26
Or a stretcher bearer for the Red Cross...
:57:31
...and St John's Ambulance Brigade,
or a fireman in the docks.
:57:39
Jerry up above, fire bombs raining down.
:57:42
Up the turntable ladder.
:57:47
Carrying women to safety.
:57:50
Trust you to think of that, James.
:57:55
I wish we had neighbours.
:57:58
I'd like to ask someone what's going on.
