Considering the current state of world affairs, perhaps Britain should do an inventory of potential public shelter sites. The old deep level bomb shelters from World War II would be better than nothing.

These sirens have a really haunting quality to them modern weather sirens lack.

Excellent 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇬🇧

Hands down the greatest generation ❤️

Bill having a drink in his ROC uniform ? Be breaking ROC disciplinary home office code.

1:08 Could any commonwealth-types chime in on what accent the narrator has? I've never heard "true" pronounced this way, more like "thoo" or "fhue." EDIT: Should have checked the comments--looks like this may be a speech impediment instead.

This was called Exercise Grass seed

Still better than nothing I suppose.

Hurricane force winds and temperatures of 1000’s of degrees centigrade everything would be destroyed, and 20 megaton fusion hydrogen bombs with a range of 100’s of miles radiating from the epicentre of detonation anything on the surface disappears. One or two bombs an entire war is lost and all of its population and infrastructure and all its buildings. The ground would be unusable. War in the nuclear age is stupid, you can get totally annihilated in one day with two bombs delivered by one submarine or aircraft or hidden in a civilian lorry. You can’t use war as a method of change you would get nuked and totally annihilated especially if you live on a tiny island half the size of France. Playing soldiers these days makes no more sense than wanking, a totally stupid activity in the nuclear age.✌️❤️🇬🇧

They should have kept that system IMO.

It’s worth noting that this isn’t the full message, as it hasn’t been released to the public yet. From what I’ve seen the full message is the same but with additional information about fallout and rations and such.

Just think the elites were financing both sides, insane.

It's not the sirens that are scary, it's the damaged and destruction and death that follows these sounds

Thi is pointless given the strength of current nuclear weapons.

As insane/inhuman as it may be, the calculus of mutually assured destruction is perhaps the soundest military doctrine yet concieved.

A film within a film?

8:51 THE KITTY IS SAVED

people might not have been able to move their cars before a nuke, as a emp unknown at the time would have stalled most motorized engines

What do you spend £400 on? Those Brits should have kept an eye on their spending or at least seperated the money they needed to get home from their spending money.That is what we did when we went to L.A in 1996

David Hasselhoff has flown from here to L.A where he lives.

Glad i do not go abroad.

Of the english guy knew that he was having 7 people in his party he should have made sure he ordered a much bigger vehicle for his vacation.Having to pay $11 a day extra serves him right.

What was he moaning for $11 a day for that van was a really good deal considering its usally $22 a day extra.I wouldn't have objected.

Why is John always late?I hate people who are late.How can he still have a job if he's constantly late? Thanking You Hazel

It a surprise John still has a job if he is always late.

Very interesting.

Very interesting.People get angry and stressed because they don't get organised.I was always organised when i went away making certain i stayed the night before in a hotel so i was handy for the airport to catch the flight.I would be at check in about half an hour before they opened so i qas always first in the line.

6:45 is this interaction even real my goddddd😭😭

I feel so grateful I am living in safety and have no family or friend to worry about. I will go back and watch these videos whenever I feel down or depressed. Thank you, greatest generation, for my freedoms and my peaceful life.

Use your cocoon, it is what it is for...

How naive we were and still are 😂

Does not seem too bad, lots of cups of tea and a jaunt to the seaside at Weston.

Reading books or watching videos of the citizens of London during WW2 always reminds me to feel grateful for the life I have. I have no reason to complain or feel depressed.

Thanks for sharing. I went to Westdown camp several times with the army in the late 80s. I remember seeing some of the protesters parked up along the nearby roads while we were there.

1:32 to 1:52 doesn't look like footage from Hiroshima or Nagasaki, that looks more like a hydrogen bomb

Merry Christmas the War is over.

If john was devoted to his job he would be on time

Well, that was terrifying and unforgettable. Another nightmare to think about constantly.

My parents still live in the north east were as I now live in Tokyo. My dad was in NATO and he thinks that we need to start thinking about bunkers yet again.

I want to be the cameraman, they always survive.

😅 They're fudged, but I like their spunk.

Only 2 T.V. channels that closed at midnight no Internet pubs shut at 11pm no wonder people got bored and got into this sort of thing.

i grew up in york around 30 miles from fylingdales. not too bothered about that, but elvington church fenton linton on ouse all within 10 miles and all most likely targets, menwith hill too. used to shit my pants on the few occasions they tested the ww2 air raid siren on the school boiler chimney in 1983. very scary times, its only now 40 years later that i can even start to mention it but find those same feelings growing again with the way the world is going, not just me to worry about, its the wife and kids im truly scared for. im thinking should we clear off to fiji or get a room nearest to a primary target and be done with it

Interesting film. Thanks for sharing.

They have youtube in 1991back then never knew?🤔🤔

I hope I’m in Bath in 1965 when the bomb drops. I get the feeling the Home Office didn’t exactly tell the truth in this film. Although a nice cup of tea can do wonders.

Before threads and the day after and 1984 close call .

Please help 12mins in wtf is up with this guys eye brows he can't see out of his right eye 😅😅😅😅

More fear mongering do you no Putin is in on the distraction with biedon and China and then all other countries
