I guarantee you will have no life to speak of. 188 00:16:12,590 --> 00:16:15,470 It's a selfish, cruel pursuit. 189 00:16:16,530 --> 00:16:21,790 And it cannot help but bring forth the most unpleasant consequences. 190 00:16:28,750 --> 00:16:31,970 And unless you do as I suggest, then this is the last you'll ever see of me. 191 00:16:33,190 --> 00:16:34,770 Good evening, Fred. 192 00:16:40,710 --> 00:16:42,170 I'm the only brother you'll ever have. 193 00:16:45,510 --> 00:16:47,750 And there's the tragedy of it, George. 194 00:16:49,710 --> 00:16:50,710 Good evening. 195 00:17:26,060 --> 00:17:30,600 Sir Greaves asks me for a column and a half, and I give him the article, and he 196 00:17:30,600 --> 00:17:34,600 puts it in the paper, but he puts it in under Arnold Henderson's name. 197 00:17:34,900 --> 00:17:37,920 Why don't you just leave? They won't print your stuff. But if I'm just going 198 00:17:37,920 --> 00:17:40,760 leave, what are we going to live on? I have the legacy from my father. That's 199 00:17:40,760 --> 00:17:44,040 not very progressive, though, is it? It's perfectly progressive. I don't need 200 00:17:44,040 --> 00:17:45,040 be kept. 201 00:17:46,480 --> 00:17:48,180 I should never have put you in this situation. 202 00:17:49,500 --> 00:17:51,260 You didn't put me anywhere. 203 00:17:52,300 --> 00:17:53,760 This was my choice, too. 204 00:17:55,110 --> 00:17:56,270 We'll make it work. 205 00:17:58,850 --> 00:17:59,850 Do you think so? 206 00:18:01,650 --> 00:18:03,290 I wouldn't be here if I didn't. 207 00:18:06,810 --> 00:18:07,850 Nuts to them, George. 208 00:18:37,430 --> 00:18:39,050 Now, let's see what it is. 209 00:18:44,250 --> 00:18:45,250 What is that? 210 00:20:27,199 --> 00:20:29,760 Well, so you think they've come from space, like Halley's Comet or something? 211 00:20:29,960 --> 00:20:34,540 Well, they have elliptical orbits, decaying. It might take thousands of 212 00:20:34,600 --> 00:20:38,480 perhaps even go clean out of our sun system, and then suddenly one day 213 00:20:38,480 --> 00:20:39,480 back, and bang. 214 00:20:39,640 --> 00:20:41,340 Yeah, but I thought those things burnt up in the sky. 215 00:20:42,020 --> 00:20:45,860 Thousands of miles an hour, perhaps even thousands of degrees of heat. 216 00:20:47,100 --> 00:20:48,100 It's true here. 217 00:21:05,040 --> 00:21:06,040 What could this be? 218 00:21:13,100 --> 00:21:14,680 Somebody's got some clearing up to do. 219 00:21:16,100 --> 00:21:21,700 So if it was, um, thousands of degrees, yes, why would it not have burned all of 220 00:21:21,700 --> 00:21:22,700 this down? 221 00:21:23,060 --> 00:21:27,540 I think it got so hot it just flashed out for a second, scorched everything, 222 00:21:27,540 --> 00:21:28,540 then burnt out. 223 00:21:28,780 --> 00:21:30,100 Is it a shooting star? 224 00:21:31,400 --> 00:21:32,400 That's right, Mr. Thing. 225 00:21:32,760 --> 00:21:33,760 Shooting star. 226 00:21:48,640 --> 00:21:50,560 Imagine what would have happened if this had hit London. 227 00:21:52,860 --> 00:21:54,760 Another couple of seconds, it probably would. 228 00:21:56,020 --> 00:21:57,020 Okay. 229 00:22:02,040 --> 00:22:05,480 You said it sounded like a bomb.

All right. 233 00:22:21,200 --> 00:22:22,580 Don't you think we should inform the army? 234 00:22:23,500 --> 00:22:28,600 Why? It just seems that in situations such as this, that you inform the army. 235 00:22:28,660 --> 00:22:31,680 I've telephoned it to the Astronomer Royal. This is common land. 236 00:22:32,240 --> 00:22:33,740 We're perfectly entitled to be here. 237 00:22:34,680 --> 00:22:38,380 The last thing we need is a lot of rough men in tunics cloning the place up. 238 00:22:39,260 --> 00:22:41,520 George, you should wire your paper.

It seems to be some kind of creature, like a 608 01:07:21,470 --> 01:07:23,650 machine. 609 01:07:24,710 --> 01:07:26,290 We just let out this... 610 01:07:26,830 --> 01:07:27,830 This firestorm. 611 01:07:28,050 --> 01:07:32,610 The regiments at Weybridge have 12 -pounders, old ones, and no shots fired, 612 01:07:32,650 --> 01:07:33,650 apparently. 613 01:07:33,810 --> 01:07:37,670 The second one came down a bifleet, and that's where most of these refugees are 614 01:07:37,670 --> 01:07:39,070 from, from the impact. 615 01:07:39,570 --> 01:07:42,910 We need to send in some of the London battery, some of the bigger guns. 616 01:07:43,350 --> 01:07:47,710 Isn't that responding unduly?
