Jim y Hilda Bloggs son una pareja de jubilados que viven en una remota zona rural de Gran Bretaña poco antes del inicio de una guerra nuclear. Profundamente patriotas, tienen absoluta confianza en su gobierno y se han informado sobre todo de qué es necesario hacer en caso de que el enemigo ataque su país. Jim ha leído los folletines oficiales sobre la la bomba atómica, e inicia la construcción de un refugio que les protegerá en caso de una explosión nuclear.

A quiet, memorable tale of make-believe.
It's not necessarily a Christmas-themed video, but is often aired in that season.
Note that Aled Jones, the boy soprano, has released recordings of his mature self over-dubbed with the favorite song "I'm Flying in the Air" (as well as other tracks), that are quite good (available on YouTube).
