More from Finlay-Day.

None.

NOTES
Piranhas can live in freshwater, but die at around 10-12 degrees Celcius. It's more likely that the shock of the cold floodwaters would kill them before the electricity got a chance.

Letters: Steve Potter

REVIEW
This is a bit of fun, but the script still feels stilted and awkward.
