Anyone old enough to remember The A-Team - undeniably the greatest of the many soldiers of fortune that populated 1980s television - will recall John 'Hannibal' Smith's catchphrase: 'I love it when a plan comes together'.

In Hannibal's case, the remark invariably followed the team overcoming huge odds to defeat the bad guys, generally via the deployment of a motorbike-mounted bazooka fashioned from cat food tins.
