End Day | BBC End Of The World Documentary (2005)

End Day full documentary movie. As well as a La Palma tsunami and COVID 19 type global pandemic, this 2005 BBC documentary drama depicted three other End Day scenarios. A meteorite slams into the Earth just north of Berlin ('city killer' asteroids strike the planet relatively frequently). The Yellowstone Supervolcano erupts and ushers in a volcanic winter (volcanos erupt on a regular basis and Yellowstone is overdue). And a particle accelerator experiment creates a strangelet particle that devours the planet (erm?).

Produced by BBC Horizon, End Day originally aired on the National Geographic Channel and BBC Three. The dramatised documentary follows a fictional scientist from his London hotel room to his laboratory in New York City as the scientific community prepares for a particle accelerator experiment. Each scenario then unfolds in Groundhog Day style affecting his journey and those around him over and again. Various experts provide background documentary commentary on each specific disaster as they occur. After running its course, the day repeats, this time with a different scenario panning out. This surprising BBC documentary drama from 2005 proves to be quite informative.

"Inspired by the predictions of scientists, End Day creates apocalyptic scenarios that go beyond reality. In a single hour, explore five different fictional disasters, from a giant tsunami hitting New York to a deadly meteorite strike on Berlin."

This is the complete unedited 55-minute BBC documentary drama.

Seems about right. Every one of these scenarios happens on a Monday. A perfect reason for three day weekends.

Although the spread of the virus was sped up for dramatic effect, watching it happen in a mockumentary made in 2005 was truly chilling.

Jeez, when the Beeb tackles something, it stays tackled.
Well done.

[thejoeshow]

Damn this director for highlighting young children in every situation. You definitely got the shock value.

[twilightgamedesigns]

I think the plague scenario takes on a new meaning watching this after COVID rather than before. Great stuff, like the groundhog day feel to it.

[johnmurphy]

It took me a decade, but I've finally rediscovered this film, thank you @Waleed Higgins for archiving this drama for everyone else to see in clear quality.

If you find this a little scary, watch "Threads", a BBC production. Takes you through days and years after a nucear war. It assured me that if there is a nuclear war, i will want to be at ground zero.

Showing GROUNDHOG DAY at a cinema is hilarious.

[HarrymDecatur]

I remember watching these in 2005. Now life imitates art.

That boy left his father to die, boarded a train and sat in 1st class like a boss!

[Arklay_]

That guy with glasses looks like all of these disasters are just an inconvenience to him. 😂 He was really determined to end the world.

[jhoover]

Making the last day on Earth be a Monday is horrific enough...

Wow. The continuity of this film, the editing... extremely well planned out.

[kristinamittelbach]

I love how he wakes up dressed
for work. He knows how to save time in the morning 😂

[jackashmore]

The news chick was perfect. She had the “oh no, anyway” attitude, especially when the nuke split the meteor

[sidbeckett]

Such a funny film, with loads of points of comedy. I think my favourite is the British family who seemingly drove all the way to Yellowstone in their British family car. You can CGI awful tanks and crappy waves, but not change a number plate. Love it! more films like this please.

[allisonrich]

We have Threads and then we have this one. Thank you BBC.

[Lenzar]

Why do the American family at Yellowstone drive a British registered, right hand drive car?
