That's the problem with most "doomsday weapons..." some clever triggering device or system that can be screwed up by a squirrel chewing through a cable. The BBC could go off the air due to, I dunno, a big earthquake in London. The radio signals could get jammed, either intentionally or through some unfortunate natural phenomenon (Carrignton event?). The doomsday weapons antenna could fail. The BBC could go silent for 24 *seconds* and it turns out there was a slight calibration error between "seconds" and "hours" in the doomsday device. The BBC could shift frequencies, go from analog to digital.
