If you survived the Blitz - an atomic bomb can’t be all that different... can it?

In the event of the nuclear holocaust, Jim and Hilda Bloggs have taken all the advised precautions.

When the three-minute warning is given, Jim has the opportunity to test his inner-core refuge.

But what will they be confronted with when they emerge?

Raymond Briggs based his radio play on his 1982 graphic novel of the same name. A follow-up to ‘Gentleman Jim’.
