Just as the film starts with a US TV station shutting down with the Star Spangled Banner, here it is ending followed by the British station BBC1 closing down with God Save The Queen.

This was recorded on a bunch of tapes that came from the Isle of Wight, so is likely to have been recorded from the Rowridge transmitter.

I know this is online elsewhere but my copy has the film credits and also the transmitter shutdown.
