Tunnel vision

Thursday 6 December

We watch a video of the work in progress. At the end of the show Mole says 'This isn't finished' and the audience laugh. I wonder if Mole should say that at the end of every show. After the video Mole says 'It's like a tunnel. We're digging a tunnel. We've got the ends and we've got the beginning. It's like when they build canals. One team at each end and they meet. I do know once they didn't actually meet. One end was higher than the other. We've got the end and the beginning and we're going forward. When you're making you always do the beginning and the beginning's always good. I suppose we're going backwards becuase we've got the ending and that's weird. Knowing how something ends before we've finished making it.' We talk about Oceans 13 and how they couldn't have bought the Channel Tunnel drills because they were left under the channel and how the drills were made of diamonds. And how the British bought a second hand drill and it was crap. Unbelievable. It's like my Dad was the production manager 'I've found this drill in the Sunday supplement'. 'I saw it in the Exchange and Mart.' We had this house full of batteries because half the house was battery operated.
