00:00:00,440 --> 00:00:00,600
'Alpha 075, what's your current
fuel status?'
3
00:00:00,600 --> 00:00:03,200
'Mayday, Mayday, Mayday. Alpha 075.
4
00:00:03,320 --> 00:00:05,240

'Alpha 075, what's your current
fuel status?'
6
00:00:09,000 --> 00:00:12,640
'295 souls on board.
Current fuel status is half an hour.
7
00:00:12,800 --> 00:00:15,440
We spent too long over France.
We won't make Newcastle.'
8
00:00:15,600 --> 00:00:17,840
They've had avionics issues
since the storm hit.
9
00:00:18,000 --> 00:00:21,080
And then the situation at
Charles de Gaulle. Where is he now?
10
00:00:22,160 --> 00:00:26,800
Approaching Northumberland but
we keep losing him. Try Newcastle.
He doesn't think he'll get there.
11
00:00:35,040 --> 00:00:38,840
OK, Alpha 075, we're sending you to
RAF Coningsby.
12
00:00:39,000 --> 00:00:41,400
'We won't make that.
We need to land.'
13
00:00:51,160 --> 00:00:53,000
'That's exactly
what I said to them.'
14
00:00:53,120 --> 00:00:55,040
We don't have the officers...
15
00:00:56,600 --> 00:00:58,560
Jesus Christ!
16
00:00:59,840 --> 00:01:02,480
A plane went over really low
but I can't see any lights.
17
00:01:15,120 --> 00:01:17,080
(BELL TOLLS IN THE DISTANCE)
18
00:01:41,720 --> 00:01:43,680
You're smoking. No!
19
00:01:43,840 --> 00:01:45,720
Why can't you vape?
Real men don't vape.
20
00:01:45,920 --> 00:01:50,800
Where's your protection officer?
Risk is part of smoking. Take that
out, what have you got?
21
00:01:50,960 --> 00:01:53,440
Lymph nodes! I called James.
He's just coming.
22
00:01:53,600 --> 00:01:57,480
So can I go to the party? As long as
we can video you millie-rocking.
23
00:01:58,480 --> 00:02:01,040
You think I don't know what that is.
He doesn't.
24
00:02:01,160 --> 00:02:03,080
We don't really do parties anyway.
25
00:02:03,240 --> 00:02:06,760
Really? What do you call them now?
A few friends coming round...
26
00:02:06,920 --> 00:02:11,320
For tea and biscuits. Well,
enjoy yourselves. You deserve it.
27
00:02:13,320 --> 00:02:15,840
I love you. Call me later.
Bye, Georgia.
28
00:02:16,520 --> 00:02:19,760
MAN: Fascist scum!
Sutherland! Resign!
29
00:02:21,680 --> 00:02:23,680
Yes, make that move.
Bye, Mrs Sutherland.
30
00:02:23,880 --> 00:02:27,200
WOMAN: 'Are you sure?'
It's been a long time coming.
And the other issue?
31
00:02:27,360 --> 00:02:29,360
Still waiting for an update
from Fraser.
32
00:02:29,480 --> 00:02:31,880
OK. I'm on my way. OK.
33
00:02:32,040 --> 00:02:34,120
I'll call you as soon as
I hear anything.
34
00:02:37,840 --> 00:02:42,720
Dan? I want an immediate update if
there's any sign of panic buying
at the petrol stations.
35
00:02:48,720 --> 00:02:50,680
Anna.
36
00:02:58,960 --> 00:03:00,840
You didn't answer my letters.
37
00:03:10,400 --> 00:03:12,680
They didn't deserve an answer.
38
00:03:15,680 --> 00:03:17,640
Mum?
39
00:03:19,400 --> 00:03:21,360
Please go.
40
00:03:23,480 --> 00:03:25,880
You don't even want to know
what happened.
41
00:03:29,720 --> 00:03:31,680
No.
42
00:03:31,840 --> 00:03:35,520
Mum, who's this guy?
Is he hassling you? He's just going.
43
00:03:43,680 --> 00:03:45,640
Come on. Come inside. Come on.

45
00:04:02,360 --> 00:04:04,320
And another one.
46
00:04:04,440 --> 00:04:06,760
I'll let them know.

'Multiple X5s.'
49
00:04:25,920 --> 00:04:28,240
Right. Do we know...?
That's all we've got.
50
00:04:28,400 --> 00:04:31,120
But we've gone from moderate to
significant threat
51
00:04:31,280 --> 00:04:33,320
and we're informing
all goal commanders.
52
00:04:33,440 --> 00:04:35,360
I'll tell the Prime Minister.
53
00:05:03,040 --> 00:05:05,000
(PHONE RINGS)
54
00:05:08,600 --> 00:05:10,960
Anna.
Multiple X5s.
55
00:05:11,080 --> 00:05:12,960
We've gone to significant threat.
56
00:05:13,080 --> 00:05:15,000
'They could be heading our way.'
57
00:05:15,160 --> 00:05:17,080
Convene a full COBRA
for the morning.
58
00:05:37,840 --> 00:05:41,960
# Strange, but I don't need
space from you
59

# I like
61

# And I've been chased

# Maybe I'm too wide awake
for you... #
63
00:05:53,040 --> 00:05:54,960
So, shall I be Mum?
64
00:06:00,320 --> 00:06:02,120
I've never done it like this before.
65
00:06:02,240 --> 00:06:04,160
It's cool.
66
00:06:04,320 --> 00:06:06,560
I might just drop
a couple of downers.
67
00:06:06,680 --> 00:06:09,080
Later. Babe, honestly.
68
00:06:09,200 --> 00:06:11,120
Trust me.
69
00:06:11,720 --> 00:06:14,880
It's like you're riding down a river
on a swan.
70
00:06:16,320 --> 00:06:18,360
It just takes the edge
off everything.
71
00:06:19,920 --> 00:06:21,880
Here.
72
00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:23,920
Cheers.
73
00:06:45,000 --> 00:06:47,360
Dominic Knight's on the way.
Great. Thanks.
74
00:07:02,320 --> 00:07:04,280
Hey, Anna. You wanted to see me.
75
00:07:13,560 --> 00:07:15,320
It wasn't me. It was you.
76
00:07:15,440 --> 00:07:17,360
I didn't - You did.
77
00:07:18,040 --> 00:07:22,880
I did an interview.
"What's the most important function
of being the PM's Chief of Staff?"
78
00:07:23,040 --> 00:07:24,920
Do you know what
I was tempted to say?
79
00:07:25,720 --> 00:07:28,240
Knowing where the nearest toilet is
at all times.
80
00:07:29,480 --> 00:07:32,480
There's the strategic input, diary
management, controlling access.
81
00:07:32,640 --> 00:07:35,960
But it comes down to making sure
he has somewhere to take a piss.
82
00:07:36,160 --> 00:07:41,200
You don't get to choose your level
of loyalty when you work
at this address.
83
00:07:43,960 --> 00:07:46,640
We have a COBRA on the solar threat
at 11.
84
00:07:46,840 --> 00:07:50,520
And you have until the end
of the day to draft your
resignation letter.
85
00:07:52,560 --> 00:07:55,600
Can I...? That is outrageous.
86
00:07:55,760 --> 00:07:59,160
You're quite right. You don't need
all day for such a short letter.
87
00:07:59,320 --> 00:08:02,680
Two hours should be plenty.
Have it done by lunch.
88
00:08:02,840 --> 00:08:05,240
The civil servants are waiting.
We should go.
89
00:08:11,440 --> 00:08:13,400
Oh, and Dominic.
90
00:08:14,240 --> 00:08:16,240
You can leave by the public entrance.
91
00:08:20,480 --> 00:08:23,520
Queen takes Knight. We should expect
a counter-attack.
92
00:08:23,680 --> 00:08:27,680
Don't worry. Got the next move
all planned out.
93
00:08:37,000 --> 00:08:41,720
Peter will brief the press the threat
level's been raised to significant.
94
00:08:41,880 --> 00:08:44,760
All the petrol stations
seem to be working.
95
00:08:44,880 --> 00:08:47,160
There's no sign of panic yet.
96
00:08:47,320 --> 00:08:49,960
Because people don't know
what to panic about.
97
00:09:07,000 --> 00:09:09,160
Morning, Archie. Fuck that!
98
00:09:10,680 --> 00:09:12,680
Have you just sacked Dominic Knight?
99
00:09:12,880 --> 00:09:16,400
Shouldn't it be, "Fuck that,
Prime Minister?" You should have
talked to me first.
100
00:09:16,560 --> 00:09:18,840
Not part of my constitutional
obligations.
101
00:09:19,000 --> 00:09:21,800
You know Dom's closely identified
with me.
102
00:09:21,960 --> 00:09:24,520
Don't go there, Archie.
Or I'm gonna be forced to ask,
103
00:09:24,680 --> 00:09:27,760
"Who gave him the nod to brief
against the policy he helped devise?"
104
00:09:29,680 --> 00:09:31,640
They're ready for us now.
105
00:09:31,840 --> 00:09:36,760
Oh, I'm sorry, Lady Macbeth.
I didn't spot you there
for one delightful moment.
106
00:09:36,880 --> 00:09:38,800
That might work if I was his wife.
107
00:09:38,920 --> 00:09:40,840
Never too late.
108
00:09:47,720 --> 00:09:51,360
So which virtue-signalling ponce
has been lined up to replace him?
109
00:09:51,560 --> 00:09:56,000
I have a couple of ideas.
Francine Bridge was one
thought that occurred to me.
110
00:09:59,760 --> 00:10:02,320
We'll have to have a chat
about that one.
111
00:10:13,400 --> 00:10:15,360
Now, as you are already aware,
112
00:10:15,520 --> 00:10:19,480
this morning, the threat from
Extreme Space Weather
113
00:10:19,640 --> 00:10:22,000
was raised from moderate
to significant.
114
00:10:22,160 --> 00:10:24,920
There is some uncertainty
as to the impact zone
115
00:10:25,040 --> 00:10:27,000
but the UK is certainly at risk.
116
00:10:27,160 --> 00:10:29,760
I'll now hand over to
the Chief Scientific Officer.
117
00:10:29,960 --> 00:10:34,640
Yes, as I briefed the Director of
the Civil Contingencies Secretariat
last night,
118
00:10:34,840 --> 00:10:40,360
the Met Office has been seeing
fairly significant activity
on the eastern side of the sun.
119
00:10:40,480 --> 00:10:42,320
But we planned for all this though.
120
00:10:43,360 --> 00:10:45,920
There was the seminar you did
at the Home Office.
121
00:10:46,080 --> 00:10:49,280
What was it called again? The last
bad one, a couple of centuries back.
122
00:10:49,480 --> 00:10:54,560
The Carrington Event.
And a few telegraph operators
got singed eyebrows, right?
123
00:10:54,720 --> 00:10:59,200
The point is though, Home Secretary,
as I'm sure you'll recall
124
00:10:59,360 --> 00:11:02,160
that our technologies are much more
sophisticated now.
125
00:11:02,320 --> 00:11:05,160
The impact of a similar-sized storm
will be considerably worse.
126
00:11:05,360 --> 00:11:09,760
OK, but it's not a great big
meteorite or the sun
suddenly blowing up.
127
00:11:09,880 --> 00:11:11,800
It's neither of those scenarios.
128
00:11:11,960 --> 00:11:13,840
I shall make the Press
aware of that later.
129
00:11:14,000 --> 00:11:16,520
Be great if we could all
stay on message on this one.
130
00:11:16,680 --> 00:11:19,640
Well, I have a bottle of Lagavulin
with the Foreign Secretary
131
00:11:19,800 --> 00:11:22,360
this will all go the way
it normally does.
132
00:11:22,520 --> 00:11:25,920
I am sure we are all hugely
reassured by that, Archie.
133
00:11:26,080 --> 00:11:28,880
Perhaps you could continue
in terms of practical implications
134
00:11:29,040 --> 00:11:33,200
just in case the shark actually is
in the water like the last time.
135
00:11:33,320 --> 00:11:35,240
Of course, Prime Minister.
136
00:11:35,400 --> 00:11:37,920
Stage One of a bad solar storm
would knock out satellites,
137
00:11:38,080 --> 00:11:41,200
potentially destabilising all
transport and navigational systems.
138
00:11:41,360 --> 00:11:44,080
I understand that aviation
is the biggest concern.
139
00:11:44,240 --> 00:11:47,880
Yes. There are real worries over
flight safety after
140
00:11:48,040 --> 00:11:51,200
But Stage Two is potentially
the most disruptive part.
141
00:11:51,400 --> 00:11:56,200
The storm will almost certainly
release several blasts of plasma
into space.
142
00:11:56,400 --> 00:12:00,920
And if one of these reaches Earth
it could cause huge damage
to the power supply
143
00:12:01,080 --> 00:12:04,240
through voltage instability and
transformer damage on the network.
144
00:12:04,400 --> 00:12:06,800
Some areas could be without power
for months.
145
00:12:06,920 --> 00:12:08,840
The National Grid begs to differ.
146
00:12:09,000 --> 00:12:11,800
They think it could be restricted
to a couple of remote areas.
147
00:12:11,960 --> 00:12:15,720
And it could. We just don't
really know and neither do they.
148
00:12:15,880 --> 00:12:20,480
But even one day without power is
enough to drive most people insane
149
00:12:20,680 --> 00:12:27,240
and do huge damage to the economy.
Think of the impact of weeks
or even months.
150
00:12:27,400 --> 00:12:30,400
When are we gonna know whether all
or any of this is gonna happen?
151
00:12:30,560 --> 00:12:33,880
We expect to see more large flares
on the visible face of the sun.
152
00:12:34,040 --> 00:12:36,720
The Met Office are monitoring for
plasma launches.
153
00:12:36,880 --> 00:12:39,360
But even then, it would
have to come our way
154
00:12:39,520 --> 00:12:43,960
and even then there would still be
one critical variable left.
155
00:12:44,160 --> 00:12:50,080
Does the incoming plasma field
have a north or south
magnetic orientation?
156
00:12:50,240 --> 00:12:53,640
Which is the one we don't want?
Hot South bad.
157
00:12:53,760 --> 00:12:55,960
Frozen North...harmless.
158
00:12:56,080 --> 00:12:59,960
The probability is absolutely 50:50.
159
00:13:00,120 --> 00:13:03,080
The plasma eruption could have
very little impact at all
160
00:13:03,200 --> 00:13:06,440
or...it could be extremely serious.
161
00:13:06,560 --> 00:13:08,480
When do we know? For certain.
162
00:13:08,640 --> 00:13:11,440
So once released
it could take up to two days
163
00:13:11,600 --> 00:13:14,400
to cover the 90 million miles
from sun to Earth.
164
00:13:14,560 --> 00:13:16,400
But we'll only know
if we're Hot South
165
00:13:16,560 --> 00:13:19,840
when it passes our satellite
at the L1 point.
166
00:13:20,000 --> 00:13:22,320
That's about one million miles
from Earth.
167
00:13:22,440 --> 00:13:24,360
Do the math, Archie.
168
00:13:24,560 --> 00:13:28,560
Last time I tried that in public,
Eddie Mair made a bit of
a twat out of me.
169
00:13:29,160 --> 00:13:31,160
Half an hour. Correct.
170
00:13:31,320 --> 00:13:33,600
There will be just 30 minutes
before we know
171
00:13:33,800 --> 00:13:38,240
if this storm will fuse
a few kettles or send us back
to the Stone Age.
172
00:13:48,220 --> 00:13:48,300
I'm declaring a fuel emergency.'
173
00:13:48,460 --> 00:13:48,540
'Alpha 075, what's your current
fuel status?'
174
00:13:51,300 --> 00:13:54,660
Archie's face was a picture
when you told that brilliant joke
175
00:13:54,820 --> 00:13:58,460
about Francine Bridge as the new
head of the policy unit.
176
00:13:58,580 --> 00:14:00,500
Great timing as well,
177
00:14:00,700 --> 00:14:05,780
just before we go into the briefing
room, leaving him no time to
respond to your hilarious quip.
178
00:14:05,940 --> 00:14:10,140
I believe that expression is called,
"What the actual fuck?"
179
00:14:10,300 --> 00:14:13,260
by the young people who've abandoned
our party in their droves.
180
00:14:13,380 --> 00:14:15,300
You weren't joking, were you? No.
181
00:14:17,060 --> 00:14:19,980
What the actual fuck?
She's brilliant.
182
00:14:20,140 --> 00:14:22,540
She's unemployed. Did I mention
young people?
183
00:14:22,660 --> 00:14:25,260
She was a Labour MP. Yes, but...
184
00:14:25,460 --> 00:14:31,060
Why does everybody assume all people
under 20 are transgender vegans
who only care about tuition fees?
185
00:14:31,260 --> 00:14:35,700
If you only ever take one piece
of advice from me it is never
make jokes about gender.
186
00:14:35,860 --> 00:14:38,820
People literally lose their shit
over it. How about vegans?
187
00:14:38,940 --> 00:14:40,580
Stick to what you know.
188
00:14:41,500 --> 00:14:45,140
Can we not just start moving
replacement transformers in advance?
189
00:14:45,300 --> 00:14:48,860
Have you ever seen a transformer?
They're not small, you know.
190
00:14:49,020 --> 00:14:51,700
OK. In awe at the size of...
Absolute unit.
191
00:14:51,820 --> 00:14:53,980
The sun is not going to explode.
192
00:14:54,140 --> 00:14:56,500
There are no fireballs
or meteorites.
193
00:14:56,660 --> 00:15:00,420
It is an invisible geomagnetic storm
that could disrupt things.
194
00:15:00,580 --> 00:15:04,380
We have measures in place. Please,
please, please, please, please...
195
00:15:04,540 --> 00:15:07,820
Pretty fucking please
report this responsibly.
196
00:15:07,980 --> 00:15:11,180
So what time exactly
does the sun explode?
197
00:15:12,140 --> 00:15:15,780
I will brief you again if the
threat level moves to serious.
198
00:15:15,940 --> 00:15:19,900
Move the security meeting with
the Crab back to 11:30, please.
199
00:15:20,580 --> 00:15:24,380
Well, they stockpiled CS gas
and baton rounds for
the last false alarm.
200
00:15:25,180 --> 00:15:28,020
Wait, Ed. Don't hang up.
I've got Dom Knight calling.
201
00:15:29,620 --> 00:15:32,100
Dom? Oh, for God's sake.
202
00:15:33,100 --> 00:15:37,460
Are you there, Dom? Good.
Never trust this "hold
and accept" malarkey.
203
00:15:38,500 --> 00:15:40,460
Oh, you bet we'll meet later.
204
00:15:40,620 --> 00:15:43,100
Don't worry. I'm not taking this
lying down.
205
00:15:44,140 --> 00:15:48,700
My daughter spends most of her time
signing petitions on social media.
206
00:15:48,860 --> 00:15:52,580
And my son sings that stupid
lefty chant in the bath.
207
00:15:52,700 --> 00:15:55,620
To them we're still the nasty party.
208
00:15:55,780 --> 00:15:59,220
We hate animals and refugees
whilst favouring tax dodgers.
209
00:15:59,380 --> 00:16:02,300
Our party does contain people like
that. We can't just wish them away.
210
00:16:02,500 --> 00:16:05,900
Or Archie would not be Home
Secretary. Which brings me to
Francine Bridge.
211
00:16:06,060 --> 00:16:08,780
She isn't a member of her party
any longer.
212
00:16:08,940 --> 00:16:10,660
She even resigned her seat
in Parliament.
213
00:16:10,820 --> 00:16:13,380
There's still a massive problem.
I know what you're going to say.
214
00:16:13,580 --> 00:16:17,540
No, you don't. You're going to say
none of this matters
because she won't accept.
215
00:16:17,660 --> 00:16:20,100
OK. That is what I was going to say.
216
00:16:20,260 --> 00:16:23,340
It's a problem but not
insurmountable. Leave it with me.
217
00:16:23,460 --> 00:16:24,980
I'm meeting her for a drink later.
218
00:16:25,180 --> 00:16:29,740
Met Office has just seen
a massive solar flare with
multiple plasma launches.
219
00:16:29,940 --> 00:16:33,900
We need to raise the threat level
to serious and recall COBRA
immediately.
220
00:16:34,060 --> 00:16:37,140
So having analysed the data
we can now confirm
221
00:16:37,300 --> 00:16:40,380
that a high-speed plasma eruption
is heading straight for us.
222
00:16:41,340 --> 00:16:44,340
When does it arrive? It depends on
whether it maintains current speed
223
00:16:44,460 --> 00:16:46,380
so we can't say for certain.
224
00:16:46,540 --> 00:16:51,220
They're currently estimating
some time late tomorrow afternoon
225
00:16:51,380 --> 00:16:54,420
with a margin for error
of about five hours.
226
00:16:54,580 --> 00:16:58,060
In the meantime we do already have
an immediate impact on planes.
227
00:16:58,260 --> 00:17:03,900
We're getting reports of avionics
issues like false warnings and
autopilots suddenly disconnecting.
228
00:17:04,100 --> 00:17:07,940
Isn't that why we still have
real pilots on board?
It is, Home Secretary.
229
00:17:08,140 --> 00:17:12,020
Although when an Air France crew
faced a similar scenario
some years ago
230
00:17:12,140 --> 00:17:14,500
they hit the ocean 15 minutes later.
231
00:17:16,620 --> 00:17:19,860
The glide paths at two French
airports have failed.
232
00:17:19,980 --> 00:17:22,140
They need to divert traffic our way.
233
00:17:22,300 --> 00:17:24,340
Can't they go to their pals
in Germany?
234
00:17:24,500 --> 00:17:27,300
You voted to leave the EU, Archie,
not the human race.
235
00:17:30,540 --> 00:17:32,700
Well, it's fairly obvious
what the issue is here.
236
00:17:32,820 --> 00:17:34,740
Do we ground all flights?
237
00:17:34,900 --> 00:17:39,900
That would have a very high cost,
both human and financial.
238
00:17:40,020 --> 00:17:41,940
Department of Biz is opposed.
239
00:17:42,100 --> 00:17:43,820
I trust you all remember
the ash cloud.
240
00:17:43,980 --> 00:17:48,100
If the situation in the air is
manageable and it's Frozen North,
241
00:17:48,260 --> 00:17:51,980
then this is as bad as it gets.
In which case,
242
00:17:52,100 --> 00:17:54,020
we should just wait until morning.
243
00:17:56,140 --> 00:18:00,580
Grounding all flights has real human
impact and indirect danger to life.
244
00:18:02,020 --> 00:18:04,500
This is a hard decision
but we do have to decide
245
00:18:04,620 --> 00:18:06,540
as there's no middle ground here.
246
00:18:09,900 --> 00:18:13,100
Flights will remain operational
until we have more information.
247
00:18:13,220 --> 00:18:14,620
It's the right decision.
248
00:18:20,980 --> 00:18:23,540
Keep me updated
on the plasma eruption. Will do.
249
00:18:23,740 --> 00:18:27,620
I'm gonna stay here until we know
if it's North or South.
You should probably just -
250
00:18:27,780 --> 00:18:29,900
We'll stay too.
We'll take it in turns to sleep.
251
00:18:30,020 --> 00:18:32,860
OK. We could be here for a while.
252
00:18:32,980 --> 00:18:35,220
I need to pop out for an hour.
253
00:18:35,340 --> 00:18:37,420
Need to make sure Mabel's OK.
254
00:18:40,180 --> 00:18:41,980
It's my dad's dog. Cockapoo.
255
00:18:42,140 --> 00:18:43,940
Staying with me while
he's in the care home.
256
00:18:44,140 --> 00:18:47,980
How is the old man?
He thinks the Home Secretary
should leave the country
257
00:18:48,100 --> 00:18:50,780
so possible early-stage dementia.
258
00:18:50,980 --> 00:18:54,060
I need to speak to
the hospital social worker
but I haven't had a second.
259
00:18:55,420 --> 00:18:57,380
Do you need anything?
260
00:18:57,500 --> 00:18:59,420
I'll get some food in a bit later.
261
00:18:59,540 --> 00:19:01,460
Pizza or curry? Pizza.
262
00:19:01,580 --> 00:19:03,500
Something with loads of anchovies.
263
00:19:06,460 --> 00:19:08,540
I thought for a minute he was -
Me too!
264
00:19:08,700 --> 00:19:11,940
Did you ever meet his ex wife?
Uh-uh.
265
00:19:12,060 --> 00:19:14,860
More Doberman than cockapoo.
266
00:19:14,980 --> 00:19:16,900
He's better off with Mabel.
267
00:19:17,820 --> 00:19:19,780
(MUSIC PLAYING)
268
00:19:21,100 --> 00:19:22,780
So will you do it?
269
00:19:22,900 --> 00:19:24,820
Of course I won't.
270
00:19:25,020 --> 00:19:28,540
Doesn't have to be Policy
and Research. You can have
any job title you please.
271
00:19:28,700 --> 00:19:30,940
Chief Advisor to the
Duchy of Narnia. (LAUGHS)
272
00:19:32,700 --> 00:19:34,260
What do we really disagree on?
273
00:19:34,380 --> 00:19:37,300
Corporation tax, public services.
274
00:19:37,500 --> 00:19:41,660
The unquestionable superiority
of Western values.
I've seen the alternative.
275
00:19:41,820 --> 00:19:44,620
Also, you're not your party.
And you would answer only to me.
276
00:19:46,740 --> 00:19:48,660
I can't.
277
00:19:48,820 --> 00:19:50,900
I got badly burned in the split.
I just want...
278
00:19:51,060 --> 00:19:55,300
..what all normal people want.
Respect. Trust. Decency.
279
00:19:55,460 --> 00:19:59,980
And a bit of help with
the school fees, of course.
280
00:20:00,540 --> 00:20:03,820
Universal credit doesn't cover that,
right?
281
00:20:03,940 --> 00:20:05,860
You are such an operator.
282
00:20:08,940 --> 00:20:11,180
Still getting flak
for going private?
283
00:20:11,340 --> 00:20:14,420
Yes. I didn't change my principles,
Anna.
284
00:20:14,580 --> 00:20:17,700
He got threatened with acid
by kids who weren't messing about.
285
00:20:17,820 --> 00:20:19,780
I believe in choice, remember?
286
00:20:19,940 --> 00:20:23,140
But I don't really. Plus, it's not
choice. It's purchasing power.
287
00:20:23,300 --> 00:20:26,020
That's part of choice
once you've paid your tax.
288
00:20:27,820 --> 00:20:31,340
See? I don't need us to
agree on everything.
289
00:20:31,500 --> 00:20:34,820
I just want somebody who's not
an arsehole and that I can trust.
290
00:20:36,540 --> 00:20:39,260
Ever think you might have chosen
the wrong career?
291
00:20:40,660 --> 00:20:42,140
No.
292
00:20:59,900 --> 00:21:02,980
Don't be fooled, Mabel.
I hate and despise you.
293
00:21:03,140 --> 00:21:04,780
The sooner I'm on my own again
the better.
294
00:21:17,420 --> 00:21:19,380
Heather, it's me.
295
00:21:19,580 --> 00:21:23,260
You'll have seen in the news
about the possible
power complications.
296
00:21:23,420 --> 00:21:26,180
Take them seriously. Get yourself
a wind-up radio...
297
00:21:27,460 --> 00:21:30,420
Plenty of food and water.
Extra fuel for the car.
298
00:21:34,180 --> 00:21:39,020
In spite of your successful attempts
to destroy my relationship
with the kids,
299
00:21:39,140 --> 00:21:41,060
I love them very much.
300
00:21:44,140 --> 00:21:47,500
It may be difficult for the next
few weeks so prepare yourself.
301
00:21:54,420 --> 00:21:58,100
The situation is Paris is causing
chaos. They're sending
more and more our way.
302
00:21:59,500 --> 00:22:01,460
We're running out of slots.
303
00:22:01,620 --> 00:22:04,380
A couple of flights have declared
fuel emergencies.
304
00:22:04,500 --> 00:22:06,420
(DISTORTED FEMALE VOICE)
305
00:22:07,580 --> 00:22:09,660
'..I don't know where I am.'
306
00:22:09,820 --> 00:22:12,620
They're still getting false alerts
and losing comms.
307
00:22:12,780 --> 00:22:15,540
Some are getting so confused
they don't know where they are.
308
00:22:15,700 --> 00:22:17,620
Try and prioritise.
It's all we can do.
309
00:22:24,185 --> 00:22:24,265
I'm declaring a fuel emergency.'
310
00:22:24,425 --> 00:22:24,505
'Alpha 075, what's your current
fuel status?'
311
00:22:28,585 --> 00:22:31,385
We are treating this as
a rising tide level of emergency
312
00:22:31,585 --> 00:22:35,745
in so far as we have a level of
advance warning
of the threat involved.
313
00:22:35,945 --> 00:22:39,905
But at the same time, I'm afraid
we have very little guidance
from London
314
00:22:40,065 --> 00:22:43,745
as to what, if anything, is actually
going to happen tomorrow.
315
00:22:43,945 --> 00:22:48,025
If the worst does happen, and we are
without power for a lengthy
period of time,
316
00:22:48,225 --> 00:22:53,025
I'll chair and host Gold Command
from the Royal Northumberland
Hospital near Hexham.
317
00:22:53,185 --> 00:22:57,705
Our main priorities will be
maintaining healthcare,
318
00:22:57,865 --> 00:23:01,345
safeguarding key sites
and essential fuel supplies,
319
00:23:01,465 --> 00:23:04,065
while maintaining law and order.
320
00:23:04,225 --> 00:23:09,785
Perhaps our biggest challenge will
be getting vital staff to work.
321
00:23:10,385 --> 00:23:13,625
Now, you all have a copy of
the civil emergencies guidelines
322
00:23:13,785 --> 00:23:16,985
but I imagine you also
have some questions.
323
00:23:17,145 --> 00:23:19,865
(ALL TALK AT ONCE)
One at a time, please.
324
00:23:20,025 --> 00:23:23,425
How real is the threat from
the solar storm? Oh, it's real.
325
00:23:23,585 --> 00:23:26,545
They've convened my local
Resilience Forum for the morning.
326
00:23:26,705 --> 00:23:28,705
It might only cause
minor disruption.
327
00:23:28,825 --> 00:23:30,585
A good chance of nothing at all.
328
00:23:33,385 --> 00:23:35,745
So a funny thing's happened.
329
00:23:35,865 --> 00:23:37,785
Funny ha-ha or funny peculiar?
330
00:23:40,465 --> 00:23:46,185
When I was reporting in Bosnia there
was a local translator working for
the UN forces around Tuzla.
331
00:23:47,505 --> 00:23:54,145
His sister was in Visegrad and when
the local Serbs took that town...
332
00:23:55,185 --> 00:23:57,625
..that was not a good place
to be a young woman.
333
00:23:57,785 --> 00:24:01,025
Nowhere is during war.
Visegrad was hell.
334
00:24:03,545 --> 00:24:05,505
Stuff went on there that...
335
00:24:08,545 --> 00:24:11,745
It's why I can't tolerate people
who take what we have for granted.
336
00:24:14,505 --> 00:24:16,465
So what happened?
337
00:24:16,625 --> 00:24:20,345
He went to look for her
and he just vanished.
338
00:24:22,265 --> 00:24:24,225
I never saw him again.
339
00:24:26,105 --> 00:24:28,745
Until now. He's turned up?
340
00:24:28,905 --> 00:24:31,945
Literally on my doorstep.
Did he find his sister?
341
00:24:32,065 --> 00:24:33,985
I don't know.
342
00:24:34,105 --> 00:24:36,025

that all essential staff can be
brought to places of work...

I'll get back to you.

diverted flight from Malaga to Oslo.

it had contact but now
they've lost all comms.

over to the briefing room.

Believe me, Dominic.
I did everything in my power.
365
00:26:03,385 --> 00:26:05,305
I begged him not to do it.
366
00:26:06,665 --> 00:26:08,825
I told him it would
come back to haunt him.

00:26:08,945 --> 00:26:10,865
It will.

the Tory Reform Group at Balliol.

lets her go ahead with that one.

about shooting the King.

He's over Lincolnshire.
He won't make it to Newcastle.

00:36:45,605 --> 00:36:47,485
What's the status
with the survivors?
496
00:36:47,645 --> 00:36:49,765
'Did pretty well
and saved the majority.
497
00:36:49,885 --> 00:36:51,805
Current fatality count is 25.
498
00:36:51,965 --> 00:36:55,285
Expected to rise
but not significantly.'
499
00:36:55,445 --> 00:36:59,885
We have 17 in intensive care,
six of them are touch and go.
500
00:37:00,045 --> 00:37:02,245
The rest are mostly
multiple fractures.
501
00:37:02,405 --> 00:37:05,965
We have three burns victims
from cars the plane hit.
502
00:37:09,005 --> 00:37:10,965
I er...
503
00:37:11,845 --> 00:37:14,245
I picked a baby out of the wreckage.
504
00:37:14,405 --> 00:37:18,605
'The dad is in an induced coma.'
(PHONE RINGS)
505
00:37:18,765 --> 00:37:21,005
'The mum is about to have
an operation on her back
506
00:37:21,165 --> 00:37:23,285
to see if they can stop her
from being paralysed.'
507
00:37:26,805 --> 00:37:29,525
It wouldn't be a great time
to lose power now.
508
00:37:29,645 --> 00:37:31,565
'OK, Stuart.'
509
00:38:02,445 --> 00:38:06,365
OK, first things first.
Tell her not to say a word
until I've spoken to her.
510
00:38:06,525 --> 00:38:09,525
Going the wrong way, aren't
you, Peter? Always, Archie.
511
00:38:10,645 --> 00:38:12,605
I'm on my way.
512
00:38:13,405 --> 00:38:16,245
Stuart Collier's the police gold
in Hexham?
513
00:38:16,365 --> 00:38:18,285
He's good. Young but level-headed.
514
00:38:18,485 --> 00:38:22,565
The main problem is getting
the medical staff around the
road blockage caused by the plane.
515
00:38:22,685 --> 00:38:24,605
OK.
516
00:38:24,725 --> 00:38:26,645
(SPEAKS IN HUSHED TONES)
517
00:38:28,725 --> 00:38:31,045
Yep.
518
00:38:31,165 --> 00:38:32,925
Where's the Prime Minister?
519
00:38:34,005 --> 00:38:36,125
He's on his way over from No.10.
520
00:38:36,245 --> 00:38:38,885
A word to the wise, Anna.
521
00:38:39,045 --> 00:38:42,645
As you know, I have the highest
admiration for you. Get on with it.
522
00:38:42,845 --> 00:38:48,005
I don't care how far you two go back
or how much you feel
the party needs a makeover.
523
00:38:48,165 --> 00:38:51,085
Put Francine Bridge in the policy
unit, even making the coffee,
524
00:38:51,285 --> 00:38:54,445
and I will give you
a lesson in payback you will
not forget in a hurry.
525
00:38:54,645 --> 00:38:59,205
Thanks, Archie. And in a similar
spirit, get your hand off my arm
and back the fuck off.
526
00:38:59,365 --> 00:39:03,085
I'm not some volunteer you can get
handsy with on the battle bus.
527
00:39:05,285 --> 00:39:07,365
You just crossed a line, Anna.
528
00:39:10,125 --> 00:39:12,325
When he goes - which will be sooner
than you think -
529
00:39:12,485 --> 00:39:16,005
he will at least be able to do some
lucrative after-dinner speaking.
530
00:39:16,165 --> 00:39:18,645
YOU won't be able
to get yourself arrested.
531
00:39:21,165 --> 00:39:24,885
I am feeling both positive
and patriotic this morning.
532
00:39:25,085 --> 00:39:29,765
I've got a feeling I'm going to be
a bottle of Scotch to the good
by the end of this meeting.
533
00:39:30,365 --> 00:39:32,325
Better find out, hadn't we?
534
00:39:36,445 --> 00:39:42,045
There are two possible impacts
on the grid when the storm hits.
The first is voltage instability.
535
00:39:42,205 --> 00:39:46,005
Now, we need that to
stay running at 50 Hertz.
536
00:39:46,165 --> 00:39:50,005
If it goes a couple of points above
or below we'll start getting trips.
537
00:39:50,725 --> 00:39:53,525
The other problem is burn-out damage
to transformers
538
00:39:53,685 --> 00:39:56,565
if the power from the storm surges
into the network.
539
00:39:56,765 --> 00:40:01,285
OK, Prime Minister.
We're pretty close to getting
the orientation now.
540
00:40:06,205 --> 00:40:09,765
We're getting the data from
the satellite position at L1.
541
00:40:15,525 --> 00:40:19,205
I'm afraid the news is not what
we were hoping for, Prime Minister.
542
00:40:19,365 --> 00:40:22,925
We can expect a massive geomagnetic
stormsurge in the coming hours.
543
00:40:23,045 --> 00:40:24,965
It's Hot South.
544
00:40:26,605 --> 00:40:28,165
There goes my Lagavulin.
545
00:40:29,565 --> 00:40:32,285
Upgrade threat level to critical.
Here comes the sun.
546
00:40:37,485 --> 00:40:40,805
TANNOY: A major incident has been
declared in this hospital.
547
00:40:40,925 --> 00:40:42,845
We are receiving multiple casualties.
548
00:40:42,965 --> 00:40:45,005
Non-urgent cases will not be seen.
549
00:40:45,165 --> 00:40:48,165
Await instructions on transfers
to other sites.
550
00:40:48,285 --> 00:40:50,205
Thank you for your patience.
551
00:41:07,645 --> 00:41:09,365
Bollocks.
552
00:41:09,485 --> 00:41:11,405
That's not good.
553
00:41:20,525 --> 00:41:23,605
The emergency generators are
detecting the voltage instability.
554
00:41:23,765 --> 00:41:26,805
Do we have a direct link to
the National Grid command centre?
555
00:41:26,965 --> 00:41:29,165
I think they're a bit busy
down there right now.
556
00:41:31,405 --> 00:41:35,325
OK, er, early evidence
is that coastal areas
have taken a massive hit
557
00:41:35,525 --> 00:41:39,565
and this is just the start.
The surges will just keep coming
like tsunamis.
558
00:41:39,725 --> 00:41:43,125
What about the rest of the world?
No clear picture as yet.
559
00:41:43,325 --> 00:41:48,765
Although early reports say that
France and Spain are almost
totally blacked out.
560
00:41:48,925 --> 00:41:52,565
Three transformers are out already
and that is set to rise.
561
00:41:52,725 --> 00:41:54,765
The entire system is on
the brink of collapse
562
00:41:54,925 --> 00:41:57,725
and blackouts are now imminent
across all major cities.
563
00:41:57,885 --> 00:42:00,725
I am sorry to say that the power of
this storm
564
00:42:00,885 --> 00:42:03,605
is far worse than even
our most pessimistic forecast.
565
00:42:06,125 --> 00:42:07,885
I will now speak to the Palace
566
00:42:08,085 --> 00:42:13,045
so that Her Majesty can authorise
the necessary powers under
the 2004 Civil Contingencies Act.
567
00:42:14,445 --> 00:42:16,445
This is now a national emergency
568
00:42:16,605 --> 00:42:19,365
and COBRA will remain active
until its conclusion.
569
00:42:32,925 --> 00:42:35,565
(MUSIC PLAYING)
Anna, it's me.
570
00:42:35,725 --> 00:42:38,205
I've been giving it some thought.
Call me back.
