Script – Version Two

Scene One - INT – Day

1. SOUND : Intro music for the news

2. NEWS REPORTER: Today, we are celebrating the 50th

anniversary to the end of the apocalypse. It’s been 50

years today since Marcus Jones, a 48-year-old scientist

at the time, discovered the vaccination. He died at the

age of 93 a little over 5 years ago but he will be

remembered for many years to come. Never heard before

tape recordings that were found during the clean up of

the aftermath of the apocalypse. They have been edited

into short Thirty-minute sectors and will be played

every weekday at 6.30pm over a four-week period, and

maybe, these tapes will allow us to get a better

insight of what happened all those years ago.

sticks snapping and other atmospheric sounds

6. MATT: Right, we are currently heading South I think, or is this West, I don’t really know, we are just walking

through this massive forest because Dan thought it

would be safer than walking on the streets-

7. DAN: What are you doing?...

8. MATT: I’m commentating our journey… anyway, I’m Matt by the way, I’m 22 and I used to be an engineer before the

end of the world began. I’m sure its been about 8

months, maybe more, since it all started.

9. DAN :(OFF MIKE) Its been almost a year now, and this is

not even a forest, its just a few trees, it’s the

quickest way to the shop

10. MATT: Wait, does this mean I’m 23? wow…anyway, that was Dan, he might be like 28 or something now, he used

to be a… erm… I actually don’t know

(raised voice) Dan, what did you do for a living before

this happened?

1. DAN: (angrily) Will you shut up, you’re gonna attract

them, and you don’t need to know what I done for a

living.
