Watching Michael Caine in the Ipcress File recently - which is one, long hunt around London filmed when the world was in black and white - it occurred to me that if someone had tossed a handful of mobile phones onto the set, the plot would have evaporated.

Today, training's a bit like that. We have new technology in a new world, and the new cast don't see why we should follow the old script.

Tomorrow: 'You were only meant to blow the bl**dy doors off'
