Official Old Man
Uckfield Seagull
......BBC iplayer.
SPOILER ALERT.
Quite possibly the worst drama ever put on TV. I’m on episode 6 just to see how bad it gets.
Plot. The overnight train from Scotland to London gets hacked and taken over remotely. Train moves off but then stops a few stations down the line. Everyone gets off except 12 people, every character you’d expect to see in a B movie.
Invalid, alcoholic, innocent man charged with theft, black person, illegal immigrant, gay guy, young stow-away, reporter, MP, old guy with not long to live, large woman and others.
Cut to cyber crime headquarters and more boxes ticked.
Boss who thinks they know it all, other boss who dictates orders, guy who boss hates and was kicked out but has to return to save the day, love affair between couple.
Politics take over. Who owns the trains? The train is owned by company A which is owned by country B whilst the track is owned by company C which is owned by country D. You get the idea. And none of them will talk to the cyber HQ.
Funniest moment. In the buffet car, all present agree it’s time for a drink, heck they’ve 4 hours to live. Large woman behind the bar shows them a price list.
The train does stop, on Ribblehead Viaduct. But why no-one gets out I don’t understand. Whilst all doors are locked, they have a smashed window.
But wait, there’s a goods train in the way and person B needs authorisation from persons C & D to move it.
Now lets shoot out the train, but miss and set fire to the train.
Now lets move a train purposefully in the way to stop it and kill all on board, turn off all cameras, no evidence.
If you love Airplane! you’ll fall about laughing at this show, except it’s meant to be serious.
Please BBC, don’t waste my licence fee on stuff like this.
