'''''Whoops Apocalypse''''' is a six-part 1982 television sitcom by [[Andrew Marshall (writer)|Andrew Marshall]] and [[David Renwick]], made by [[London Weekend Television]] for [[ITV (TV network)|ITV]]. Marshall and Renwick later reworked the concept as a 1986 [[Whoops Apocalypse (film)|film of the same name]] from [[ITC Entertainment]], with almost completely different characters and plot, although one or two of the original actors returned in different roles.

The British budget label Channel 5 Video released a compilation [[VHS]] cassette of all six episodes edited together into one 137-minute chunk in 1987.

The American video distributor EDDE Entertainment released a compilation VHS cassette of all six episodes edited together into one 121-minute chunk in 1991.

In 2010, Network released both the complete, unedited series and the movie on a 2-DVD set ([[DVD region code#Region 2|Region 2]]) entitled ''Whoops Apocalypse: The Complete Apocalypse''. (Rights issues were simplified by the fact that both LWT and ITC Entertainment productions were by this time owned by [[ITV Granada|Granada Television]]).

In March 2022 the series was made available for streaming on [[BritBox]].
