Big D is spot on and takes the smelly thing!

@ terry
I think all Ikea stores are torture locations!

I can't think of a question right now, so I'll defer to Terry - not least because we need some new angles here!
A torture location in one of the best classic (my favourite) sci fi/fantasy films, is now an IKEA store.
Which film am I talking about?

:D

Ah, how about 'Brazil'.
The Croydon power station cooling towers were used in this film, but have now been replaced by an Ikea store.

ha, there aren't really any rules as such. The convention is that whoever answers correctly first gets to set the next question. If there is doubt it falls to the questioner to decide who has won.
Anyways, glad you're back and lets hope the intertubes don't break again.
Assuming it's me, I'll be back later....

Wait, is it the Cloister Wraiths of The Matrix?

Spot on.
The wraiths (sliders) are like the spirits of dead Time-lords, and inhabit the cloisters beneath Gallifrey. They ring the cloister bells in times of crisis.
Over to you, terry.
