Wartime Broadcasting System.

Did you see that item about the BBC's plans in the event of nuclear war last century?  It is suggested that they would have broadcast a diet of recordings of The Goon Show, Round The Horne and Just A Minute to keep us entertained.  Makes for a good story, but in practice, had the worst ever happened, it's very unlikely that those recordings would have ever been used.  What radios there were would almost certainly have been dependant on batteries, and battery life would have needed to be conserved for listening to new bulletins.  So the thought of us sitting in our bunkers chuckling at Bluebottle and Julian and Sandy is just a nice idea but nothing more.
