This reminds me of the scene from Blackadder when Baldrick asks what he should do if he stands on a landmine.

One of the lead scientists is an ex-member of the 1990s band D:ream whose signature song was "Things Can Only Get Better" ... Let's hope that we don't discover the irony behind the song!

Make your time.
