Four Naval personnel comprised an intelligence cell in a Cold War Bunker. However, when the cold war ended and the unit was disbanded the Navy forgot about them. They continued to turn up and collect their pay cheques for the next 20 years. Unfotunately a stray alarm signal upsets their calm and happy life...

The Video: it was never intended to make a video memory from the play. However Rob took a few shots and clips from the rear of the hall. He thought members might like to see these so he has assembled them into a video. Video clips were not possible for Act 3 as manipulating the lighting was top priority.
