[[caption-width-right:275:The wasteland's best (and only) radio hosts: [[TheChick Dave]], [[TheLancer Tom]] and [[TheLeader David]].]]

* OffToSeeTheWizard: It's subtle, but WordOfGod confirms that Katie's story is littered with Wizard of Oz references (her pet wolf is Toto; [[Disney/TheLionKing Nala]] is the cowardly lion; Adam is the tin man and Jon is the scarecrow).

%%* ImmortalityBisexuality: See BiTheWay.

* BiTheWay: Dave has had sex with one of his co-hosts [[ImmortalityBisexuality about twenty times in over a hundred years.]] It's only mentioned once.
-->'''Dave:''' We are ''not'' lovers.
** It's never made explicit whether Dave is talking about David or Tom here. Though most listeners assume David based on context, WordOfGod is keen to point out that it could technically go either way. ''Technically'' there's nothing to suggest he hasn't slept with ''both'' of them.

* ImmortalityBisexuality: See BiTheWay.

* OffToSeeTheWizard: So subtle that apparently not even the other creators picked up on it, but WordOfGod from David Knight confirms that Katie's story is littered with Wizard of Oz references (her pet wolf is Toto; [[Disney/TheLionKing Nala]] is the cowardly lion; Adam is the tin man and Jon is the scarecrow).

* Really700YearsOld: The occupants of the Bunker, [[spoiler:the Outpost, Jonathan Day,]] and a handful of other survivors with large stockpiles of youth pills. These relics of the old world are sometimes regarded as powerful, mystical beings and referred to as "The Ancients" by those who were born after the Big Headache, who are unaware of the existence of youth pills.

'''The Bunker''' is a British dark comedy/drama/variety podcast set in 2414, in the post-apocalyptic wasteland that used to be London. It consists of twelve episodes, each between an hour and two hours long, which were released monthly from March 2014 onwards. A Christmas special was released in 2016.

A century after Earth was ravaged by an event known as the Big Headache, three survivors are still sealed safely in their underground bunker, with a vast supply of tinned food and youth pills. To pass the time, David, Dave and Tom have begun hosting a breakfast radio show, featuring news, interviews, music, call-ins, edutainment clips, and other features from before and after the apocalypse.

As the series progresses, tensions arise between the hosts; even worse, they find themselves ever more caught up in events outside their stifling bubble of safety. Before long, the Bunker itself is under threat, and its inhabitants are forced to interact with the creatures and people (or post-people) who inhabit the terrifying Wasteland.

* TheApocalypseBringsOutTheBestInPeople: Played with through each of the hosts and how they respond to their new world.

* LivingForeverIsNoBigDeal: Mainly Dave, who in the first episode forgets what 'getting older' even is.

* OffToSeeTheWizard: So subtle that apparently not even the other creators picked up on it, but WordOfGod from David Knight confirms that Katie's story is littered with Wizard of Oz references (her pet wolf is Toto; [[Disney/TheLionKing Nala]] is the cowardly lion; Adam is the tin man and Jon is the scarecrow). It's referenced again in the Christmas special, in which Adam and John are respectively given a heart and a brain for Christmas. Albeit more real ones than in the story.

* BiTheWay: The Davids have had sex together [[ImmortalityBisexuality about twenty times in over a hundred years.]] It's only mentioned once.

** Strictly speaking, it's never confirmed whether Dave is talking about David or Tom here. Most listeners assume David, based on both the immediately preceding dialogue, and the broader context of their relationship.

* BilingualBonus: Lee Yan Chak, a regular caller to the show, has an interesting subplot of his own if you understand Chinese.

* BiTheWay: The Davids have had sex together about twenty times. It's only mentioned once.

* TheDanza: The show creators David Knight, David Price, and Tom Dalling play... David Knight, David Price, and Tom Dalling. Several other side characters are named after their actors as well. (Katie Turner, Emma Sterling, David Kallo, etc)

To pass the time, Dave, David and Tom have begun hosting their own monthly radio show, featuring news, interviews, music, call-ins, edutainment clips, and a variety of other features from before and after the apocalypse.

However, as the series progresses, tensions arise between the hosts; even worse, they find themselves ever more caught up in events outside the Bunker. It's only a matter of time before something happens to shatter the status quo in their stifling bubble of safety.

* SpiritualSuccessor: Definitely Human's next podcast, {{Podcast/MarsCorp}}, is a more straightforward comedy drama - and set on a different planet. However, the two shows take place in similar (though not identical) universes, reference one another, share many common themes, and feature mostly the same cast. Dave, David and Tom even play characters with their own names again, although these characters act and sound very different to their Bunker counterparts.
