BLACKOUT : tonight at 9pm Channel 4
(223 Posts)What would happen if the lights went out!?!
Looking forward to watching this, it has had good reviews. Good night on TV tonight with Under the Dome afterwards--makes up for all the rubbish on Saturday night-- Anyone else giving it a go?
DP and I have bookmarked this to watch tonight, we save 'Under the Dome' for a Tuesday, 'Casualty' Saturday then 'What Remains' Sunday
I'm under orders to watch. My granddaughter is an extra, so might or might not be in the finished programme.
Looks great, I'm definitely going to watch.
We will be watching - DH is the original doom merchant and always has to think his way out of any disaster scenario. He's just started mumbling about solar back up
Have on sky though will watch if awake
Ooh fantastic, I didn't know. Thank you. I love doomsday scenario programmes.
Yes it looks really interesting!
Agree the preview looked amaze
looked good on the previews but I'm a bit bored of this already, anyone else watching?
just switched over to have a look, isn't it very good then, or should i go back to motorway cops madness?
It's making my eyes hurt!
Oh, I think it looks great.
It's a bit Blair Witch, a bit Threads...
I bet the survivalist gets mugged for his Oh Fuck Rucksack...
Do they not have headlights in the countryside? Country folk are pretty good at driving without street lights yet according to the script writers, cars crash.
How would the mobile phone network operate without power? Wouldn't the masts need power to operate?
watched a bit - got bored - turned it off - blackout!
Its all a bit daft, I understand the panic and the food shortages but I think mignonette is right mobiles would be down.
Im enjoying watching this and turning to my dh on a regular basis and asking him, "When did this happen? were you there at the time?" and he patiently explains, "No its fiction" but I keep asking just for shits and giggles.
The mobiles are down aren't they? It's like a retrospective account using the videos people have recorded at the time of the blackout. At least that's what I thought was happening.
Oh there we go about the mobile masts. I must of missed the phone calls when I was settling the baby. I'm feeling a bit dense as I wouldn't have thought about the electricity pumping the water or the cash machines going down.
I got bored, so as someone else said upthread - blackout here too
Some of them made phone calls. That's what I thought was odd. And some were online.
Am I the only one getting far too into this?! It's scary!! Imagine this were to happen?
Gah! The adrenaline!
