Discover how Parallel Earth 888 was wiped out by Ian's desire for fame, which occurs when a meteor crashes into his nose.

iGOD says that trying to predict the end of the world is as pointless as moisturising an elephant's elbow.

Starring David Soul and Simon Day.

In each episode, an unnamed, all-seeing narrator (David Soul) shows us that it is stupid to be worrying, as he looks back at some of the most entertaining apocalypses on parallel Earths.

Our case study is a normal bloke called Ian (Simon Day) who manages to accidentally initiate the apocalypse of a different parallel world through a seemingly harmless single act (telling a lie, being lazy, cooking some lamb shanks).

A succession of comic vignettes ensue that escalate to the end of a parallel world.

Ian ...... Simon Day
The Narrator ...... David Soul
