The ReviewBrief: The threat of Nuclear war looms over Peckham. What will become of the Nag's Head if the Russians attack? Well rehersals are needed. Surely Eric the Policeman will understand. One things guaranteed, the Trotters will be sitting pretty in their DIY shelter...

Another successful dodgy deal means Del has over a grand's
worth of lead from a disused factory to get rid of. When Rodney
points out the three tons of lead are in fact a D.I.Y nuclear
fall-out shelter, Del refuses to believe him until he reads the
accompanying brochure.
With the threat of nuclear holocaust preying on Rodney's
nerves he asks Del what he'd do if he heard the four minute
warning. Without an answer, Del considers putting a survival plan
into action that means reaching Grandad's allotment in time to take
shelter.
It's during a practice run for the Trotter counter-strike
survival plan that they get stopped for speeding by the police -
they never get to find out whether they'd make it in time.
