It did lead to the odd hiccup what with the "Murder inc" jacket worn by one shot down crew being used as propaganda against the "terror bombers"..(http://www.merkki.com/murderinc.htm)

Berhard already said my best idea, bar shot for bringing down rigging on sailing ships..

Slavery by another means, and how does this square up with "Level playing fields" for other businesses?

UFO was easily the most exiting opening sequence of the time. Sadly it all went down hill right after the opening. Slow stodgy story lines, overpowered good effects and ideas. I still want an office that goes down into the earth to my secret HQ.

I was sort of undecided at the first episode, i thought an older, maybe a lot older actor would be nice. But Mat seems ok so far, a little mad and given to a few too many speeches. Episode two was however great. Who could fault Churchill, darleks, and Spitfires in space! (even with a quote from "Where Eagles Dare" thrown in)My nine year old loves it and sits on the sofa with the wife enjoying the danger!Looks out for the weeping angels!

I to saw Midsummers night dream there, when the sun went down it got very cold (a good tip take something insulation to sit on)but bats flew round the lights catching summer moths and fishing boats showing thier lights sailed past... good if you get bored easily.

James May did a similar thing, but with the iconic Spitfire, on his BBC program "Toy Stories"
