Wow, I must see that.

Sounds good, I like stuff like this.

Did anyone watch "The last train" about ten years ago. That was good.

Yeah, was that the one about the train that crashed in a tunnel and a gas that someone was carrying leaked out which put them into a sleep for years. They woke up and found that and asteroid had hit the Earth and everything was devastated. Then they estimated that they had been out for 15 years and it was 2013 but later they found it was actually something like 2050 or something.

Yeah, I liked Last Train and I like the look of this. Another one for Sky+ methinks.

This is the sort of programme that makes you feel grateful to be going to work in the morning in a normal world.

It's good going so far.

I saw the original - loads of fun - not but I checked with she and we decided to miss this one.

I love the fact we have so many films depicting the end of us humans - when some would suggest we are sleep walking towards this for real.

Some would but I wouldn't. Not ALL humans. Just some blinkered ones - allegedly.

Is that Russia I see over there?
