“Voices on Radio 4 discuss the failed bomber; he was driving a stolen gas tanker and exploded dismally and prematurely on an industrial estate – singularly inept even by recent standards. This is the latest in a series of incidents in which only the bomber has died: cue the mocking columns, the jokes on Mock the Week. Hook wishes the plot had worked, sucked a few commuters into its commotion, just to wipe the smile off their smug English faces.”
