Coffee??? Tea, surely? You can't run a proper experimental base on coffee.

They must be on a tight schedule if the plant is near Carlisle and they had to get there from London.

Is it Oldbury Power Station again?
Not sure I like the way they locate the nasty place in 'the north' (there ARE MOD bases near Carlisle!). Like Shakespeare setting things in Verona or somewhere exotic that people have heard of but never been to.

Although it would be very like any London government to put anything potentially dangerous 'up north'.

Anyone else getting adverts? The new Star Trek Stange Worlds film looks interesting. But the Tui holiday advert says if I book I get 22 pounds extra baggage. Why would I want extra baggage?

It's Sid! Unmistakeable voice.
