Sorry to give away the story. But apparently one of the "experts"
during the program makes a decision that leads to Waterloo station
blowing up without time for it to be evaucated.

Wonder how LU would flag that one up on the service status boards!

From the clips shown on 'BBC Breakfast' this AM, the "dilemma" is
whether to tryu to rescue the passengers stuck in the rapidly-filling
tunnel, or to close, "the watertight doors." Question is, is it still
possible to do that?!

Since when has reality been allowed to interfere with a TV programme?

Default Crisis Command - BBC2 Tue 3 Feb *2100* (was: Command Crisis - BB2 Tue 3 Feb 21.30)

It is an hour long, and starts at *2100*, not 2130. The title is "Crisis
Command: Could You Run The Country?", and it is apparently a pilot for a
potential series.

Well that was fun, wasn't it children? Form three Guardian readers into
a committee and watch them wring their hands and dither.
