😂 I hope they aren't still relying on the BBC tpo reach the population. Only squares still watch that BS.

LMFAO!😂😂😂😂

Great film and story but why didn’t the guy use a torch?

Midge 😢😢😢😢

Like monkeys playing with matches so pathetic

It's just so good. So, so good.

I watched this in English class in 7th grade back in the late 70s after we read the story. The spit freezing before touching the ground always stuck with me.

Who is the guy at 45:25?

9:53 I love how they kiss for no reason at all

To everybody involved with the UKWMO, you have my respect and admiration . From a grateful Englishman

As a civil defence nerd I can see a substantial difference between the British and Soviet practices concerning the use of respirators. Soviet and WARPAC doctrine was to use gas mask anytime doing anywhere in a post-attack situation and there was gazillion of them available anywhere, and there certainly would be some at any civil defense establishment like Papa One. Sounds kind of nonchalant on the British part seeing that a mask can protect you from the worst of alpha and beta contamination

I remember watching this movie when I was in grade school.

"This 2 Mega-ton chap..." @ 11:07

Don’t worry everyone, nukes are fake. Hiroshima and Nagasaki were firebombed, the earth is flat and stationary, space is fake.

if government or councils are in charge in a nuclear attack we are all doomed

This was 1962 and we were already fooked several times over and then some. So thats why ROC posts and RSG sites are rare golden gems accessible only to committed urban explorers! 😮

20:22 no breathing protection when going outside? Very strange.

The only fallout we got ere is from seagulls , - dry humour uk

Just imagine the fallout if you forgot to wear a tie

Old skool British behaviour - we need everyone to adopt the stiff upper lip

He sure has a screw lose upstairs. That poor dog..

Threads tells the whole story. Back to the stone age.

Bring out the teacakes Roger get Betty on the phone and Rodger your a mighty good chap

While the actors speak in Norwegian, the English Roald narrator has a German accent. Still a good documentary, of course.

I remember when I got the internet on a few years ago. My mother asked me to download her some knitting patterns. Now I know nothing about knitting, so I sat her down at my computer. I was expecting her to look for each key on the keyboard and she started typing like a professional. I was amazed, I asked her how she could type so effortlessly. It turns out she was a Telex operator in the WRAF working on communications for early warning systems.

10:37 That woman is lovely.

Jesus, I almost forgot how boring and useless this was. Will America ever produce any great literature?

"They are all civil servants and they will all be frantically busy." These were definitely different times.

Very Analog, interesting though 😮

Im not going to say anything against Scott. They would of made it. The cold got them

Saw this in my early youth. Still punched in my head when the man got frozen after all…

This is a great documentary, and they found the perfect guy to portray Amundsen...

Thanks for this.

man: "im dying!!!" puppy dog: "pLaY?!?!"

Only the Brits would be out gardening during a nuclear war.

I can't see any difference between the war reporting here and that of Clive Myrie today.

It's still going on in barns in Somerset.

Cheeseburgers and drugs...that's how I'd like to go.

Fight War ☮️ Not Wars 🕊️

What derailed this expedition is these gentlemen knew nothing about utilizing dogs. The natives all throughout Alaska and other places such as those have utilized Huskies for years in order for traveling. Walking a 900 plus miles in freezing cold temperatures with food would set up anybody up for failure. I've trained Alaskan Huskies myself and have hundreds of miles under my belt with dog mushing. You'd be surprised with one good team of dogs how far you can go with them. Scott knew nothing on this front.

The innocence is overwhelming. Not a mention about water and soil contamination, nevermind fire storms, EMP, infrastructure failure and emergency medical centres.

Ironic really, miniature sun's going off everywhere, 20 million °c airbursts and the poor old Benny Hill impersonator gets drowned

4:54 banger line

While I know this will never happen, we need this now more than ever. Please do a new "season".

Scott did have a dog team, but it returned to Cape Evans after Scott and his team reached the Plateau. Had he had a second dog team to help him to the Pole instead of man hauling his supplies he would have had the strength to reach One-Ton-Depot and may have survived. Scott took a 5-man team to the Pole instead a using four and this cut his rations for all of his team. Scott was a poor planner traveling in a place that does not forgive mistakes.

The British fucked up in every way possible in preparation for Antarctica. And they paid for those mistakes with their lives. That should be lesson numero uno, mates.

Traveling 1000 miles from shore to the unknown at extremely low temperature, severe weather is something only a genuinely brave person can do. Everything was against them, yet they were successful in their mission. Hats off to them.

Went to the Indians and asked for a chicken tarka. they said whats that. it's like chicken Tikka but a little otter😂

he seemed to be very preoccupied by Scott getting to the Pole first. He didn't have to feed his dogs to his other dogs he had plenty of caches of food and food was never the issue with these pole explorers. Just brutal for no reason

“To Build a Fire” is a film adaptation of Jack London’s short story of the same name. Here’s a breakdown of the events, setting, climax, and resolution of the story: Setting • Time: The story is set during the late 19th or early 20th century, likely during the Klondike Gold Rush in the Yukon territory. • Place: It takes place in a remote, snow-covered wilderness in Alaska or Canada, where the temperature is brutally cold (around -50°F/-45°C). The harsh environment plays a critical role in the story. Events 1. Introduction: • A man (the protagonist) is traveling alone through the wilderness to meet his companions at a camp several miles away. He is accompanied only by a husky dog. • The man is confident and dismisses warnings about traveling alone in extreme cold. 2. Conflict with Nature: • As the man progresses, the extreme cold begins to take its toll. He realizes how dangerous the situation is but continues undeterred. • He accidentally steps into icy water, soaking his boots and feet. This forces him to stop and build a fire to dry himself and prevent frostbite. Climax • The climax occurs when the man successfully builds a fire but accidentally extinguishes it by disturbing snow from a tree above. The snow falls onto the fire and smothers it. • Panicking, the man tries to rebuild the fire but fails due to his frozen fingers and deteriorating physical condition. • He grows increasingly desperate as he realizes his situation is life-threatening. Resolution 1. Descent into Despair: • The man becomes overwhelmed by the cold. He tries to kill the dog to warm himself with its body heat but lacks the strength to do so. • He attempts to run to generate heat but collapses from exhaustion. 2. Ending: • The man succumbs to the cold and dies in the snow. The dog, sensing the man’s death, leaves and heads toward the camp, instinctively searching for safety and survival. Themes and Messages • The film underscores the power and indifference of nature, as well as human arrogance in underestimating its forces. • It serves as a cautionary tale about the dangers of overconfidence and failing to respect nature’s limits. This tragic tale emphasizes the smallness of humanity in the face of nature’s vast, uncontrollable power. Yannan Wu
