Oh, I thought he set a timed car bomb* before going into the studio, so that it would explode during his broadcast and he could say what he needed to say just before and during the inferno. It doesn’t seem like he leaves to set a fire during the broadcast. I presumed he intended to die in the blaze with everyone else. Well, maybe some or all of the others escaped, since they would have tried to get out rather than staying to give some insane message on camera.
* that’s why the smoke comes from beyond his parking space. Was that ‘behind’ in some early performances, or did I just mishear it?
ETA: I’m imagining the studio has floor-to-ceiling windows in front of the presenters, which is how he sees the smoke and the billboard. I guess they’d have to be west-facing, though, so they don’t get the sun in their eyes (presuming it has risen by the time they actually start filming) and this might make the studio impractical to use for other shows later in the day. In fact I suppose variable natural light would be a problem for any TV broadcast. But I don’t think about the logistics of a field I’ve never been involved in when I’m listening to a song. Now you’ve ruined it for me! In protest, I’m going to go burn down a building with a tram bomb.
