BLACKOUT : tonight at 9pm Channel 4

[guineapiglet]

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 afterwardsmakes up for all the rubbish on Saturday night Anyone else giving it a go?

[BornToFolk]

Me too LittleNoona! I'm really freaking myself out.

[BOF]

Especially SurvivalistsWife

[BOF]

DP has lit a candle, and I keep nervously looking at the battery life on my iPad.

[Bowlersarm]

I'm into it. I am always going to have a full tank of petrol and my mobile will always be fully charged. Oh and cupboards full of non perishable food and lots of water.

[UnknownGnome]

Aaron someone who suffers with anxiety I don't think i should be watching this...

[mignonette]

Anyone remember the Eastern seaboard black outs a couple of years after 9/11? NYC in a panic at first thinking terrorists?

They're using riot footage from a few years back. Not as if we need a black out to have a 'good old riot' in the UK!

[huddyblell]

I know little noona - am cacking my pants - think I need to add lots of cash to my OFRS (I never have money on me, always use my card) and will make sure I am never further than walking distance away from my kiddies!

[UnknownGnome]

Aaron? As someone! Doh!

[BOF]

Is this just a one-off drama?

[huddyblell]

Full tank of petrol a v good idea. Will top up each week to keep it full, rather run down to almost empty

[ballroomblitz]

I like it. I'd be screwed as my phone battery is useless. Were there people stuck on the London Eye at the start? That thought freaks me out.

[BOF]

Poor SurvivalistBloke is too scared to put his generator on though

[Bowlersarm]

Wouldn't fancy being in a lift. You wouldn't be able to get out, would you?

[bluecheque4595]

I think the middle class family with the generator needed to get their kids on-message. "Dont talk about the generator in front of strangers." They needed to have that talk.

[hogwartsismyhome]

Is ankle tag man more sinister than he makes out?!

[LittleNoona]

Crikey!

I think I'm going to start a survival kit after watching this

[AlwaysOneMissing]

I'm really enjoying this! It's making me very nervous though. What is this man with a tag going to do??!

[LittleRobots]

I ought to turn this off so I don't get nightmares... but I'm hooked. And scared.

[Bowlersarm]

I think ankle tag man is ok. I fear for generator family!

[RoonilWazlibWuvsHermyown]

I'm an hour behind you all but OMG the thought of this happening makes me feel sick

[LittleRobots]

I think the sale of survival realted bits and bobs might go up...

[RoonilWazlibWuvsHermyown]

Oh, can I be annoying and ask, how much of it is real footage and how much is Blair witch fake?

[Abra1d]

At least the petrol-thieving yobs have relieved the national gene pool of their future contribution and blown themselves up.

Hope the London Eye people have been got down.

[LittleRobots]

They've used past news footage apparently (london riots, I remember there being a news event over rubbish building up at some point, the water etc) and merged it. I also found the bit about 2 people escaping a lift was found from You Tube of two soldiers!

[LittleRobots]

And obviously added to it!
