Description

John Mitchell report from Morcott in Rutland, where Stronghold Engineering and Construction are converting a disused railway tunnel into a nuclear shelter for 400 people. Councillor Brenda Lemon explained that people will buy space in the shelter for about £2000 each. George Broadhurst said he believes people will pay for the shelter. Views of Morcott village, the tunnel and a John Mitchell report to camera. Terry Lloyd report from the Bulls Head in Monyash, Derbyshire. The landlord, Decio Tettanni, explained that the police have given him a device for early warning, if the Russians attack. He is supposed to warn the villagers, but he has no instructions on how the machine works. Shots of Tettanni riding a bicycle through Monyash shouting 'the Russians are coming' (as recommended by Derbyshire police).
