6. 80’s Nuclear threat • http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/magazine/6752835.stm The 80’s the nuclear threat Memories ‘ I remember having real fears that the superpowers would end up unleashing their terrible weapons upon one another either by accident or on purpose’.

7. Intro In my opinion we should have a moving animated news intro using others as a base but for ours I feel we should use inspiration of the welding animation from robot wars as this would fit in with the industrial military theme. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wjnNt1tgzC4

8. Presentation I would have the show presented professionally with blunders and situations that make the show funny. An example of this would be a BBC news screw up, ours however will be purposeful and also will involve professionals in situations which cause them to make mistakes. http://www.independent.co.uk/news/media/tv-radio/chinese-new-year-bbc-blunder-welcome-to-the-year-of-the-whores-9102117.html

9. History of the bunker • Brief History • Hack Green Nuclear Bunker started off as decoy site during the Second World War, to trick any German Luftwaffe bombers looking for the important railway junction at Crewe. In 1941 it became RAF Hack Green, and its purpose was to provide air traffic control to military aircraft crossing the nearby airspace. • During the early years of the Cold War, the site was modernised as part of the ROTOR project – a huge elaborate air defence system designed to counter any threat posed by Soviet bombers. During this modernisation, the construction of a semi-sunk bunker also took place. • In 1958 the site changed roles again, becoming part of the UK Air Traffic Control System. It was during this period that the site became an RAF centre. Hack Green closed in 1966 after it was replaced by RAF Lindholme in South Yorkshire. • The site lay dormant for several years until 1976 when, during the height of the Cold War, the site was purchased by the Home Office and used as a Regional Government Headquarters (RGHQs) – one of a network of 16 similar sites around the UK. They were designed to enable government to to continue in the event of a nuclear attack. • After the Cold War ended in 1992, Hack Green’s life as an active military facility had come to an end. The Home Office sold the site to a private buyer, and 1998, the Cold War Museum you see today was opened.

14. Hack Green Bunker In 1941 Hack Green, a site previously used as a bombing decoy site for the main railway centre at Crewe was chosen to become RAF Hack Green, to protect the land between Birmingham and Liverpool from hostile attack. Thus began the service of Hack Green and the airmen and women of Cheshire in the defence of the nation. https://www.cia.gov/library/center-for-the-study-of-intelligence/csi-publications/books-and-monographs/a-cold-war-conundrum/source.htm#HEADING1-01

15. Bunker Employees • Hospital Care-Isolate the patient. Wear something over your nose, mouth & hair. Keep the patient warm and feed on a diet of soup, bread & hot-drinks. Ensure that there are adequate toilet facilities for the patient (plastic bags and a bucket).

16. More info on Hack Green Bunker • Hack Green Bunker was built to withstand the mechanical & radioactive effects of a 1-megaton weapon detonation at 2600 meters or a 300-kiloton weapon at 300 metres. This is equal to a pressure of 1 bar of incident pressure & 2.5 bar of reflected pressure. • Greater London Council. As to a reasonable estimate of the costs of NFZ (Nuclear Free Zone) activities by the council including full-time staff, grants, overheads and indirect or hidden subsidies. I have concluded that the total burden on public funds of all these GLC activities could not be less than £3 million for the period 1981-85.

18. Activities in the bunker • The level of comfort at Hack Green was low, suggestions to remedy this include provision of newspapers, board games, jigsaws, table tennis, dartboards, pool-table and provision if room could be found for a multi-gym”.

19. Relevance of Research • We have researched all of the above information so we have a clear understanding of the era that the TV show is set. • We also gathered this research so we can include useful and interesting facts and figures to interest our audience. • The uniforms and props will be effective to make the news story look more realistic. • The information will also advertise the bunker for more visitors to go their such as how the facilities have developed over time.
