Mike Sullivan and Josh Hadley join Mike White to discuss the 1986 comedy Whoops Apocalypse. Loosely based on the 1982 British TV series of the same name, it’s a story of chicanery and political intrigue centered on the obscure and fictional British territory of Santa Maya. A power struggle around this small island leads to heightened tensions between the UK, US, and USSR.

Producer Brian Eastman and co-writer David Renwick discuss the mini-series and feature versions of Whoops Apocalypse.
