Yes, I can see that you're right.
The BBC looked for news in a public space. The fault lies with who ever left it there.

I was able to undo the lock after 3780 and 3781 failed and I tried 3782. I'm really enjoying my new bike I found outside the railway station.

It would have to be as good as the books. HBO or similar. Massive budget and definitely none of those exploding 12lb cannon balls that sink a three decker.
