Whoops Apocalypse is a six-part 1982 television sitcom by Andrew Marshall and David Renwick, made by London Weekend Television for ITV. Marshall and Renwick later reworked the concept as a 1986 movie from ITC Entertainment, with almost completely different characters and plot, although one or two of the original actors returned in different roles. The series has a big cult audience, and copies of videos are heavily sought after. The British budget label Channel 5 Video released a compilation cassette of all six episodes edited together into one 137-minute chunk in 1987. In 2010 Network DVD released both the complete, unedited series and the movie on a 2-DVD set (Region 2) entitled Whoops Apocalypse: The Complete Apocalypse. (Rights issues were simplified by the fact that both LWT and ITC Entertainment productions were by this time owned by Granada). John Otway also recorded a song called "Whoops Apocalypse", which was used as the theme song for the film. He occasionally performs it live. |

The original TV series appealed to me... I guess I was part of the early "Cult" following. The "Plot" is perhaps dated now... but the themes still ring true. It has a cast of some of the GREAT UK comedic actors from back in the "heady" days of the 70's and 80's Whoops Apocalypse - Opening Titles (HQ) |
