@SMERSHPOD Hi there - just been listening to Die Hard 2 episode. The stewardess on Windsor Air was played by Amanda Hillwood (excellent in A Very Peculiar Practice on the Beeb). Also, if the plane was running on fumes, why did it explode in such a huge fireball? Strange.

@ronmanagernottm I note this is the revised edition. I wonder if the original was responsible for more or less misery?
