Super Volcano
 

Did anyone watch this? Thought it was pretty good myself :)

I did, was quite well put together :) Sure is gonna bugga up everything when it happens (when not if :p)...............

Missed it! Fecking video did not tape it. Is it repeated?

Similar boat :mad: NTL digibox froze about 20 minutes in. Lost that, the scientific documentary on 2 about it straight after, Billy Conolly and the WRC on sunday night :mad: Gonna get shut of the crappy NTL thing and get a freeview/top-up box with HDD instead.

I thought it was pretty good as I felt safe(ish) outside the nasty, hot pyro summat(??) surge or what ever it was!

Made you think anyway, one thing is for sure it would seem sooner or later it is going to errupt, just hope im not around when it happens....

It's available on DVD from the BBC (or so they said at the end).

It was OK for a TV film, but I did fall asleep half-way through. It is gonna happen, but the time frame could be anything up to 100,000 years. Probably the same odds as an Asteroid wiping us out, so I wouldn't start hoarding your food just yet ;)

A TV Film it was but I thought it deffo opened your eyes as to what could or probably will happen at some point.

2012

load of old rubbish.

the documentary was more interesting.

There was some reasonably accurate science in there if you looked hard enough, but on the whole I thought it was pretty cheesy tbh. Didn't really offer any more scientific insight than watching Dantes Peak imo...

At least it was better than their last effort though (that space thing where they were touring the solar system - load of rubbish).

Even then they padded the documentary out with loads of clips from the tv soap.

TBH I didnt think it was a good programme, although an extremely interesting subject was simplified to the extent you really didnt learn anything.

you're all doomed !!

Didn't see it, but I'm guessing you mean pyroclastic flow... pretty hot stuff! :cool: :D

Was it a rehash of the 1999 Horizon program ?

Sort of (in docu-drama form), only it didn't give as much information and had seriously dodgy acting...

Was thinking more of the documentary that followed it on BBC2. I saw the 1st 20 minutes of the docu-drama, and the acting was well dodgy to say the least :D

Considering that half of it was on Sunday, and half on Monday, so did most people. :p
Was I the only one to think the Sulphur Dioxide cloud etc would be a good cure for global warming? ;):D

They were calling them pyroclastic surges rather than calling them pyroclastic flows. However - same effect, and with lots of lethal hot stuff coming towards you quicker than you can drive, you probably wouldn't be too concerned about the name of what's about to kill you.

Interesting, a bit scary, a bit cheesy. All it really showed is that there's the potential for a lot of stuff to go wrong, but science really doesn't fully understand it all
