I gave this a 1 point for awful for the science. I'd give it an 8 perhaps for the science fiction, special effects and story line as I did thoroughly enjoy watching it, though those who find such things scary probably wouldn't. But I'm judging it as a scientific docudrama.
The only scenario that had some accuracy was the 100 meter asteroid impact, but that is very improbable, and astronomy has moved on since this film so we would have warning of weeks, probably months for a 100 meter diameter asteroid. And the chance of it hitting Berlin was very improbable as cities occupy less than 0.6% of the land area of Earth, and there were many scientific howlers in that section as well.
* The particle accelerator strangelet / black hole can't happen - they mention the report but not its conclusions or the reasons for its conclusions. Cosmic radiation particles of far higher energies hit the Earth's atmosphere and the Moon. Indeed on most of the scenarios, Earth, the Moon, and our Sun would have disappeared long ago, and neutron stars wouldn't last long even if the collisions produced neutral uncharged stable black holes.
* The megatsunami is based on a single controversial paper from 1999 which is now pretty much debunked. It is not likely in the near future and we'd have weeks of warning and plenty of time to evacuate.
* A disease outbreak can happen, after all it already has, just way over exaggerated again. That scenario was so thin on details that it's hard to know what to say about it.
I could go into a lot more detail about all the scientific howlers in the docudrama but there isn't enough space here. See my https://debunkingdoomsday.quora.com/Review-of-End-Day-2005-BBC- docudrama-Megatsunamis-Asteroid-Impacts-Particle-accelerator- strangelets-black-hol
