No hope

I can normally forgive the corniness/imaginative things that happen, it's an easy watch after all.

After watching the British episodes I honestly didn't think there could be a worse episode until this one.

It lacks all common sense and seems to be for anybody that has never seen a plane before let alone been on one.

I honestly can't cope with how bad it was my head was in my hands most of the episode please just skip this one it won't affect the series at all, just give you a little more respect for it.
