    If it happens before Remembrance Sunday, it’s going to cause untold psychic damage to the Home Counties. I can’t wait.

    Many years ago, I did some software contracting for the BBC and they had a project called “Big Red Button” for when they had to switch the website into a low bandwidth mode due to extreme traffic - the canonical example of which was the Queen’s death. Someone’s gonna have to press the button and I’m so jealous of them.

      “Big Red Button”

      Why isn't that already a tv comedy series? The first episode (a double episode?) could be God Save the Queen. I'm American so I can't think up the titles to more episodes. But it's a comedy and reality can be stretched so surely there's at least a solid first season worth of material.
