In more jingoistic hands, this might have turned into another opportunity for Britain to stand alone against the alien invader (just like we did at Dunkirk), and perhaps the Torchwood boffins might have been able to slap a solution together using their laptops and suchlike.<br /><br />But no. Instead, there is no rousing Crispin's Day speech; the government of the UK caves in immediately and we get all the glory that you point out in your review. It's chilling, horrifying. Governments don't really do this - do they? (Oh yes they do - see the history of ENIGMA and some of the sacrifices made to safeguard wartime intelligence, and then to to Coventry and Dresden).<br /><br />This is breathtaking stuff, and I am hoping that Day 5 goes nowhere near reset switches or loads a Deus into a Machina.David Webbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11648632077632519082noreply@blogger.com
