Richard Kendrick will play the role of JAMES BLOGGS, a retired country gentleman, naively following govern-mental brochures on how to prepare for a pending nuclear strike in the height of the Cold War. He has a steadfast trust in government and will follow the advice of the ‘powers that be’ regardless of how absurd that advice may sound.

​Margi Chantler will portray HILDA BLOGGS, who like Jim is sentimental about the good old days of World War II. Hilda is a bit of a prude and in contrast to Jim’s interest in reading the daily paper, she doesn’t really pay attention to what is going on in the outside world. Rather than panic about the threat of a nuclear strike, she is more worried about burning her cake.
