How did the doctor manage to fall off the balcony. Even blind, that would be quite difficult I think.

That's Investigator Reeve from 'Sand', isn't it?

If I was Bill, I'd be feeling very trapped now. Jo literally is.

Bill suspects it's much wider than this bloke is suggesting. There were no radio stations.

Reeve isn't acting much like the dominant male here!

Did no-one have food in their houses, that they are resorting to looting so soon?

Perhaps they couldn't find their way home?

There only seems a few looters. I sometimes end up with not much food in the house, so it's possible.

Yes...but they would spend a lot of time dealing with that and not getting on with the story. I mean the breakdown of society is a huge story on its own.
