Until now, the 'crack' of a Christmas cracker might have been followed by the ejection of a little green man on a polythene parachute. Here, M&S test a prototype which offers the cracker-puller something rather more useful; production pigeons will, of course, be provided with ear-defenders.

Initial testing with smaller birds is going well, but the three-bird-roast might be something of a challenge."
