    Anyone watch this on BBC2 last night? They had a businessman, a lawyer and some other bloke acting as Ministers trying to cope with a series of disasters hitting London simultaneously.

    Lucky for London those mongs aren't in charge in real life anyway seeing as they only got 2 out of 7 decisions right and ended up with an aircraft crashing into the Houses of Parliament and the entire London Underground system flooded :)

    I wasnt bad - the "ministers" tended to be too cautious for the whole show and so balls everything up.

    I was a bit silly though, when the plane was supposed to have crashed into the houses of parliment, they were in bits,heads in hands and all that. You'd swear they thought it was real !

    The guy with teh sideburns was a spa aswell :D

    Tell me about it. If any of those three ever get into Government I'm leaving and going back to Ireland :p

    Talk about mongs: "Oooh, let's divert the aircraft right over the centre of London to to Stansted where the nice terrorists will let everyone go" :rolleyes:

    Too bloody right. Even after the plane "crashed" into the Houses Of Parliament he was still claiming they made the right decision in not shooting it down!!! And anyone who sat throught the credits will have seen him say that he's thinking of going into politics...:rolleyes:

    It was a good idea, but is it supposed to be a series? Can't see it working over an extended period, how many disasters can they come up with???

    Dammit, I was meaning to watch it & forgot all about it.

    Doesn't look like being repeated either. :(

    I thought it was class! The military guy was hilarious, but the funniest was when the plane crashed into parliament the guy with the locks just says "I think we made the right decision" :D

    Can't wait to see it next week! Hopefully it'll manage to sustain itself.

    I think this was a pilot. There may be a series comissioned.
