The Day Britain Stopped (2003 TV Movie)
What nearly was...
28 April 2004
Like Smallpox 2001 before it, i found out about this on the day it was to be shown by flipping through the paper, and i'm glad i watched it, continuing in the vein of "What might have been" BBC docu-dramas (The war game, Threads, Smallpox 2001, and If... in 2004) it shows an all-too plausible scenario of total meltdown of the transport system. Also quite scary (to me anyway) was the antiquated-looking nature of the air traffic control systems..they said that the controllers had to "Imagine a 3D picture", this isnt the 1970's anymore, we have the technology for the screen to display a 3D picture!. But anyway, if this film is ever repeated i recommend people watch it..even if it is just to call it "scaremongering" as so many anti-science people do
