It's called "Armageddon And You."
:39:03
There's a terrific bit in it
about Western defences.

:39:07
Now, just listen to this.
:39:09
"There are three B.M.E. Ws -
:39:12
Ballistic Missile Early Warning systems.
:39:15
One P.R.C. S - Perimeter Acquisition
Radar Attack Characterisation System.

:39:22
Then there's N.O.R.A. D -
North American Air Defense.

:39:26
And J.S. S - Joint Surveillance System.
:39:30
And then seven R.O.C. Cs -
Regional Operation Control Centres.

:39:35
Then there's N.A.D.G. R -
Nato Air Defence Ground Rnvironment,

:39:40
and several A. W.C. S -
Airborne Warning and Control Systems.

:39:46
All this is controlled by the N.C. A -
National Command Authority,

:39:51
by means of the N.M.C. S -
National Military Command System.

:39:56
And A.M.C. C -
Alternative Military Command Centre.

:40:01
And N.R.A.C. C - National Rmergency
Airborne Command Centre.

:40:06
And it all comes under W. W.M.C.C. S -
Woridwide Military Command & Control System.

:40:17
We should be all right
with that lot looking after us, eh, ducks?

:40:21
Well, it didn't stop them from bombing us, did it?
:40:24
Oh er... well, no er... I suppose not, really.
:40:28
Still, just think, it might have been worse.
:40:31
Got to look on the bright side, ducks.
:40:34
Besides, another thing the powers that be
have created is called M.A.D.

:40:39
- Mad?
- Yes, M.A.D.

:40:41
M.A.D. Mutal Assured Destruction.
:40:44
I read about it in the public library.
:40:46
I think my old dad was in
the Mutual Assured Insurance.

:40:50
- A penny a week it was, in those days.
- This isn't insurance, ducks.

:40:54
I think it covered the cost of the funeral.
:40:56
Yes, well, I suppose this is similar.
:40:59
It all comes out of our taxes.
