Not with a Bang is a British television sitcom produced by LWT for ITV in 1990. It ran for seven episodes, each 30 minutes long.[1] The show was a dark science fiction comedy, focusing on the end of the human race on Earth.[2][3] The title comes from the last line of T. S. Eliot's poem "The Hollow Men" "not with a bang, but a whimper"; The concept for the series originates from a self-contained 1986 Radio 4 afternoon play of the same title, from which Mike Grady was the only cast member to reprise his role in the television series.
