He pauses at a ruined shack and knocks on the door frame. "Good evening, sir," he says with elaborate politeness to Captain Bules Martin (Michael Hordern), the master of the house and a sometime surgeon. "I am the traveling BBC announcer, and here was the news."

In the year of déjà vu, the only completely redesigned full-sized car is the Lincoln, which, among other things, now has a body bolted to the frame for a quieter ride.
