Day of Disaster.

Slippy: I love the way the bridge supports slide through the tops of the towers.

Politics: "There'll be no delay, you can rest assured of that, Minister." Bloody politicians. Mind you, it wasn't all their fault. Moustache guy was almost as bad.

D'oh!: They have a little gadget that tests for metal fatigue. Maybe I owe John an apology...

Leadershippy: How the hell did moustache guy get to a postition of authority? He's absolute rubbish...

Music: I like the Martian Space Probe theme.

Disposable Extras: Nice of the maintenance guys to fill us in with the backstory. And also, "don't worry, nothing's gonna go wrong..." Ah, how little they know... heh heh heh heh...

Summer Holiday: Why's Brains staying with Lady P anyway? Jeff could have paid for a hotel... Maybe somewhere near the launch site, as opposed to making him watch it on telly round Lady P's. Or making him try to watch it on telly, at least. When she's not switching it off, the tea-obessed bitch. And you can tell she hates him. (Brains, not Jeff)

Transatlantic Cousins: "A launching of this size, without the facilities of Cape Canaveral would cause a lot of problems..." Well, it's nice to know the British Space Programme will continue to be every bit as useless as it is today.

Fit Men: I love the bit where Alan comes back from jogging around the island and the other all take the piss. Absolutely the correct way to treat joggers.

Gobblers: Although I do really like the whole edible transmitters scene, I'm not sure about the actual concept. Fair enough, it's a good idea, but why give one to Grandma? She never leaves the island. And if the hypothetical bad guys find the island in order to kidnap her, we can assume there won't be much left of the base to transmit back to (Yes, yes, Move - and You're Dead had her stuck on a bridge with a bomb, but she hadn't come to live on the island at that point, and the whole kidnapping thing had bugger-all to do with International Rescue). Besides, even if she did get kidnapped, what vital secrets could she give away? That International Rescue runs almost entirely on apple pie? Tin-Tin's bust size? Also, why is she keeping this highly sophisticated peice of equipment in the kitchen? 'Oh dear, now where did I leave that rat poison. And it was the one with the nice strawberry flavour that I liked...'

Quelle Bloody Surprise: And the edible transmitter ended up in... an apple pie!

Mr Clayton and Friend: So, Clayton's Australian, he's worried about the bridge and orders safety checks and so on. Moustache guy is English, he's pigheaded, stupid, harrassed by his superiors (and you won't see dedicated and blatant sucking-up like this again until Miles O'Brien achieves the lofty status of semi-regular), and won't listen to reason. Hmmm...

"I had no idea the rocket was going to go as slow as this..." Despite the fact that when you're transporting a heavy load across an unstable structure, it's better to go slowly, because that way you're causing the smallest possible amount of vibration. Who did he sleep with to get that job?

Ping!: I love it when the cables start to snap. The escalating panic that follows is also very amusing.

Crazy Eddie: They attempt a rescue using conventional rescue methods. Strange... Although they do attempt it with crap little cranes and very little else. Reminds me of Terror in New York City, where they can only find two air tanks in the whole of New York. (Post Apocalyptic...)

Positioning System: Judging by that policeman, Lady P lives in Yorkshire.

Rocket: So, if they smash up some of the equipment in the cabin, the whole rocket'll explode. Very well designed. Did they hire Brains as a consultant?

Bitch Monster of Death: So, Lady P's decided to blow up a load of buildings, in the vague hope that it'll draw the crowds away from the sunken rocket. But it's okay, because they were condemned anyway. "There's no-one ere M'Lady. We are queete halone." And you know this by driving round to the optimal shooting point? There was probably a load of homeless people sheltering in there. It's amazing the way she can crowbar mindless destruction into any situation...

Infiltrator: How did Brains get into the control room? I assume they'd have some security, even if all the nasty crowds have been scared away.

Heh heh heh: "And what's wrong with our equipment, may I ask?"

Madness: This time, Brains' personal transmitter thing gets him through to TB5, as opposed to Alan's in Move - And You're Dead. But he still does the 'calling International Rescue' thing, although that's a bit more believable if he's transmitting straight to TB5.

Cranes: They really are pants, aren't they? All they're lifting is a few girders, yet they go arse-over-tit. What were they planning to do about the rocket itself?

No Timewasters, Please: "I don't think there's enough time left. Even for International Rescue."
"Yeah, I was thinking the same thing myself."
Then you should have called them earlier, shouldn't you?

Huh?: And why can't he contact them on "that thing"? TB5 can pick up signals from walkie talkies.

Size Matters: Going by the size of TB4, the Martian Space Probe must be tiny.

Hot: Yey! TB4's cutting torch thing again.

Economy: I don't get what the hell Virg's is up to. TB2's (not very impressive) scoopy thing picks up a load of wreckage, then buggers off and dumps it in a field. Why not jut fly a hundred metres down the river and dump it there? That way you save time, and don't get the Countryside Alliance after you. With sticks.

Softly Softly: I love their rescue method. First fire missiles at the rocket, then get TB4 to ram it.

They Just Make it Worse: The clamping device is similar to the one they used in the End of the Road, except this one looks even more crap.

Bang: Was the rocket explosion meant to look like Challenger? (I'm not even sure of the dates, so it could very well have pre-dated it, but it seemed really similar... maybe it's just my brain. Better ignore me) And can the loss of a nose-cone really cause a rocket to explode before it can get over fifty feet off the ground? (It looked about that. Maybe. Or maybe I just don't know what I'm talking about. Again)

Sailor V: The Brains Victory Dance. This is very scary. Does he do this after every rescue? Because if he does, I'm not surprised that packed him off to Lady P's. And I'm not surprised the controlly guys packed him off to Dr. Korda.

Interior Design: Dr. Korda has the Hood's statue...

Secret Agent. Not: Why does Lady P call from just outside the office? Where anyone passing can see her, and Dr. Korda can blatantly overhear her. I'll tell you why, to facilitate the comedy ending. (Deep sigh)

Back To My Place: Everyone goes to Lady P's after the rescue. And if they get another call...
