Probably the biggest experts are the Jehovah’s Witnesses, who have predicted the end of the world in 1914, 1915, 1918, 1920, 1925, 1941, 1975, 1994 and 1997, so are getting really good at it. It is interesting to notice that they didn’t predict any ends of the world between 1986 and 1991, which is when the BBC ran the painting and decorating sitcom Brush Strokes.
