The British Emergency Broadcasting System introduces a weekly quiz from an uncertain future after a catastrophe. A dishevelled host urges the survivors watching at home to stay inside, then welcomes a blind contestant, an anxious woman and a man too shaken to speak. Their first round tests what little history the broadcast can still reconstruct, with muddled questions about old leaders and plays. When Sheila panics, the host treats her distress as a routine interruption and carries on to announce the winner’s prize: a container of fuel.
