I want these two to make a apocalyptic movie together. One of them is the other one's dentist who had to give them a ride home because the person who borrowed their car hadn't come back to get them. On the way home they get more and more suspicious as they don't see anybody else about, and cars abandoned on the motorway lead them to believe that the best course of action was to pop off to the bunker that was advertised by a street sign that he looked at on the way home everyday. The bunker is empty, so they move right in, and thankfully it has a snack machine inside the bunker because people on tours of the bunker get hungry occasionally. Upon hearing a very loud explosion they decide to close the door, while the power is still on. Little do they know, the power isn't actually on, the bunker is connected to batteries that are kept charged by the mains. The power actually went down about 10 minutes before the explosion. Much later, when they run out of food and spend a week trying to decide if one of them was going to eat the other, or if it would be better to go to the surface and scrounge, they decide to use the heaviest hazmat suit, because something felt very fake/costume-y about the lighter ones, and pop down to the shops. Still no people, lots of dust, just clouds of it hanging in the air, after a few minutes he returns to the bunker and says the other needs to go in his stead, since he is unacquainted with this side of London and he doesn't want to get lost. The movie ends when they are able to get a couple hundred pound-weight of food to the pantry, after days of scrounging, when they hear a helicopter overhead and they run out to see the Americans shouting from a megaphone "Europe is gone. Meet us at the A-1 overpass for relocation." The film ends when a large armored people-carrier smashes through a barrier on the overpass and (possibly Simon Pegg) opens the door and says "Get in the back boys, the Americans will meet us at the docks." Depending on how well the movie does online it will get a sequel. Everybody Nuked everybody else, except for some odd reason, no one nuked America, and America didn't nuke anybody else. Apparently no one wanted the entire American nuclear arsenal aimed at them, nor did the Americans want to escalate the disaster. As it turns out, while they were at the dentist office everyone around them had been evacuated and they missed the boat. He waited in the waiting room for almost an hour before the surgery, then had a tooth removed, then spent the next hour and a half unconscious due to the drugs, then waited 2 more hours waiting for his ride before trying to send a text message, which failed to go through, then waited another half an hour before the dentist emerged from his room to say the rest of the staff had gone home, and because he didn't really know what he should be doing, he was going to close early. So for close to 5 hours they were doing dentistry while there were missiles headed straight for them. If the nuke hadn't hit far on the other side of London, they wouldn't have had enough warning to shut the doors before the wind from the blast reached them. Thankfully, sound travels faster underground so they heard the explosion several minutes before the damage reached them. Simon Pegg left the vehicle, after explaining this all to them, to go take a slash, but didn't come back. After waiting 45 minutes they took one step out of the car, heard gunshots in the distance, and decided to go on without him rather than risk losing one of them trying to save him. Also, they didn't have a gun and that sounded like a situation that might need the use of one. Now the tone of the movie(s) would actually be a bit playful. Not at all dark, just more of awkward, matter of fact, and satirical of most people in today's world not even having an "action face". They are not really sure how to process this and come across more annoyed than terrified. Maybe even a little gob-smacked, they weren't entirely sure how to react, so they didn't. The second movie would be mostly them disagreeing with the fastest way to get to the ocean, and arguing about which port the boat was to be at. Also, not knowing how to work the radio, it was using encrypted lines and they didn't know the codes. Were they going to the largest port, the nearest port, or the busiest port? Or maybe, the most used military port nearby. In any event, they don't know where they are going, and have to frequently stop because one of them gets a good idea of where to find a map, where to stock up on food, and generally where would be a good place to try to phone America to get directions. As it turns out, none of the radios they can find at the shops are using the same frequencies that the American military is using. In the end, they find a port, it's too small and completely abandoned. They head out to the sea on a small yacht, the larger one wouldn't start and they didn't know where to put the petrol so they picked a yacht that had been designed to look like a 1950's tugboat, even though it clearly had a modern engine and cupholders. After loading a couple coolers with salted meat and some tins of vegetables, they headed out on the water. The main thing is constant, amusing, conversations of ill-equipped and unprepared people for this sort of disaster. They were told by Simon Pegg that they were far enough from ground zero that as long as they leave the continent within a few hours, they shouldn't have to worry about the fallout. That is why they boarded the boat and left, heading west, hopefully. If the movie needs a solid ending, (which I don't think it does) it can end with them getting picked up by a Chinese fishing boat, that also decided to head to America, but they are also incredibly lost. For some reason the EMP from all the nuclear explosions knocked out the communication and navigation satellites and they have been sailing blind for several weeks now.

As someone who had that helmet, they were recalled because they did not, in fact, meet safety standards.

I love the way he casually tosses the bomb into a box of other disposed bombs...

This show has no business being this interesting to watch.

Just like airport security theatre, the metal detector failed to detect the big metal robot named Linda. (at 2:28)

Request number 1000 to turn down the background music. Does anyone read these?

Screaming at the robot to stop the bleeding from happening

Ayoade the best gadget man! Fight me! (Sorry Mr Fry.)

I don't know who does the sound mixing for these episodes, but if you're reading this; could you please back the music volume down a little? Richard's voice is hard to hear in some segments.

I have worked in the building when they were on the rooftop, the amount of pigeon poop in there was horrendous!

It would be nice if they had the guests on for more than 5 minutes every episode. Just bring them along for the whole show and introduce fewer gadgets.

Aoyade was really trusting that Xion jacket to protect Allen, he could've really hurt him if it didn't work exactly to spec.

“Human slaves, in an insect-robot nation!”

That bulletproof softbag wouldn't be so bad to have here in the states with all the shootings that go on. Having some piece of mind of protection to get outa there or my kids would be life or death helpful.

Nice work.

Rinpocze Ayoade is looking well.

The wearable mattress and iPad bobble protector do look quite good

Nice

Very applicable to these times lol

That Einstein quote was prescient considering the present situation in Ukraine...and our own new prime minister

"it works!" tehehehehe

loved u in mandalorian

You are the real dr. Evil.😳😳😳😎😎🇺🇸🇺🇸

nice to see richard n gadgets again, but would like new* full episodes

Ill be Matthew Holness us guest? I still hoping a science gadget episode with him too !

Those survival gagets are nice, but you have spend a fortune to have them. And when Apocalypse comes what good will bunker be when you're in City Center miles how are going get into it...

That Rideye camera needs a shock mount or your footage is going to be too shaky to see much in a hazardous situation.

at 20:02 richard asks "how are we going to get out of here" ? hes next voice over covers up bills reply "burrow out"

If the mantis were to invade, it's not exactly going to catch up with you at that speed! Wondering which movie now..

1 hour with bill

But Bernard it's hot in the worm 18:51

I cannot never see Dean Learner

bill bailey dry wit :)

Yeah background music volume makes this almost unwatchable..

Oh hang on bills on at the end …..my mistake

Soylent is people! SOYLENT IS PEOPLE!!!!!!

So, are these gadgets available in 2020, in an area of growing civil unrest?

You posted this before...

Shiz

Bunker at the end, is that where the video game "the Bunker" was filmed? (It was an FMV style game). Looks like the same place! kzfaq.info/get/bejne/at-mYLZlnM7ZdoE.html

I may be wrong….but isn’t this Keith Allen…not…MR BILL BAILEY X….I’m never wrong x

I would turn up the volume of the music so that you can not understand what he is talking at all. And who the hell thought calling your food substitue astronaut thingy Soylent? Are they that dumb? I would rather starve to death than ever taste it because I know what it is made of!

I wanna paint that house , it’s so boring

but its not Bill Bailey

Those iBalls seem like the worst, they'd make my phone take up way more room than the Holy Grail screen protector and a regular case.

ahh, the episode aimed at americans. unfortunately we have to watch it in multiple sessions to dodge several bullets from time to time and regret not having bulletproof bags and backpacks

Don't you hate when nuclear war breaks out. It's so annoying

bill bailey needs to grow his hair and beard back

My good sir the only way to stay safe is something we here in the states call the second amendment

I hope we can learn to be sustainably civilized before the need for any of this doomsday stuff

Me thinks the cell phones and most other electronics won't work because of EMP (Electro-Magnetic Pulse) caused by the nuclear blast. Also, walking outside so soon after a nuclear blast will expose you to radioactive fallout which will likely cause you to die from radiation poisoning. Most of what was said here seems to be a joke. Too bad I can't recognize the humor in it.

Bill was the only good thing about this vid...
