In case anyone is looking for this there is both a Documentary and a TV series done by the same people on the same subject. The Documentary was aired over a year ago and has a DVD out. The series is currently running and has run 4 episodes out of 10. In the US it airs on Tuesdays on the History Channel

Yeah there is a lot of useful info in there. Especially if you running thing in urban settings for it does go into some details what fails and why, along with some interesting back ground.
Points out things that many people wouldn't think of. Great show for evil GMs...lol

It's an interesting show. I found the two-hour pilot, aired about a year ago, to be particularly enlightening. The series seems to just be elaborating on the premises originally presented in that first show.
I believe the series is based on the book The World Without Us by Alan Weisman. I haven't acquired it yet (read excerpts in Discover magazine)but I plan on it. I find having a print resource is usually more convenient than scanning DVRed shows or DVDs. But, for pure visual impact, the TV version is pretty effective. It's usefulness for T2K is probably somewhat limited, although the stuff they've done on life 1-5 years after people is applicable. For the Morrow Project and similar long-view post-apocalyptic stuff, though, LAP and the WWU are pure gold.

National Geographic did a similar show as well, Aftermath Population Zero. Great show as well.
