Welcome back to YOU HAVE BEEN WATCHING, a podcast about British sitcoms.
Join your hosts Tony Black & Robert Turnbull as they celebrate the 40th anniversary of WHOOPS APOCALYPSE! by discussing David Renwick & Andrew Marshall's cult comedy from 1982.
A satire of the end of the world, the series features a feckless US President under the spell of a fundamentalist, a decaying Soviet state of old men and cloned replacements, and a bonkers British Prime Minister who believes he is Superman. The show depicts, at the latter stage height of the Cold War, a race between idiots toward WW3 - does the series resonate in a 2020s with escalating nuclear conflict and a resurgent Russian threat? We take a look.
