BORIS JOHNSON’S election promise to get shot of all London’s bendy buses was going without a hitch – dozens have been culled this month alone – until the unpopular urban transport machines hatched a cunning plan and one day we awoke to find they had turned into monsters, out to wreak a terrible revenge on the city that spurned them.

It is said that the Transformers movie hits the shops today. Suspicious-sounding special features include Seeds of Vengeance and Domestic Destruction.
