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?

Oh my god why am I really scared?!

I see! Its scaring me already :( not sure whether to watch it or not haha!

well rooni, it kinda happened for us, during the riots. and they have used a lot of footage from that which makes me feel a bit sick.

am a bit pissed of at seeing the shit that went down outside my home being used for a drama..

Sadly there woule always be people who would want to make a bad situation worse.

What do we thing of tag man? Trustworthy or not?

It's scaring me...

Oh I didn't even think of people watching who have lived some of this for real :(

I recognised the looting of JD sports as footage from the London riots

I'm routing for tag man.....think he's ok

This is making me a bit tense!

I think tag man is nice but something bad will happen to him. And generator family. Loose talk costs lives, kids.

Working in a hospital, it makes me feel a bit twitchy, thinking about the backup generators. And they have ignored things like planes and control towers, sensibly.

Reminds me of Day of the Triffids.

I think I can see how the hospital dude is going to work out. They're going to have to prioritise patients aren't they and Carl isn't going to make the cut?

Why is this affecting me so much? I feel so anxious. Could this ever happen for real? I mean, to the whole country at the same time?

Tag mans weird. Something not right somehow!! Proper freaked out, won't sleep tonight

I suppose a cyber attack against the national grid could be possible?

Tagman is actually a good egg, I think.

I'm welling up where she found her mum...

Yes they'll have to prioritise patients but maybe he'll get a reprieve right at the last minute then the power comes on...

Tried to watch it but we just had a massive flap over over progs been recorded as it on for 90 mins we tried to oringise the sky planner with dd15 input sigh tv now turned so I have to see if I can watch it some other time my poor sky planner was getting confused and poor dp has now retreated to the bedroom with the laptop dd is in a strop in the bathroom with music me and dog are just looking at each other wondering wtf sigh off to bed I give up though did look ok the whole 15 I saw of it !!

Can I just check quick, does it get more distressing/scary further in? I don't want to have nightmares (yes I know, childish!).

Right, before bed tonight we must make survival boxes. But don't boast on mumsnet whats in it!!

but I do think I would have decked shrieky carl sister by now if I were staff.

Yep the sister is doing my nut in now.

We'll be fine, our caravan is on the drive with a battery and cooker and fridge though we might get attacked by our elderly relative for supplies.

Off-the-grid man would do my nut in if I had to live with him.

Roonil so far just more of the same, I'd say.
