"Events, the politicians greatest enemy they say, plan until you're blue in the face then things just happen and events take over. Not terrorists this time it seems, an accident. A gas explosion in a rundown block of council flats, that's all." I'm not suggesting any conspiracy or otherwise, just sharing as I found this fascinatingly similar to recent events and as the publisher of this states... "I have absolutely zero intent to offend the victims, their families or the survivors of this dreadful and shocking event, nor to trivialise the nature of this disaster in comparing real world events to fictional television shows, and I wholly apologise if that is how this is judged. Neither do I wish to make a further comment on either the real event or opinions voiced in the fictional dialogue. What I will say though is that Urquhart's reaction in the BBC interview is chilling, and I hope not at all prescient. Beyond that, I am simply struck by how a 25-year old show can so closely resemble today's reality, with seemingly so few of the issues having been addressed in the interim." | |
