I actually remember when this interview video came out, the exact evening I watched it, I had cooked a prawn stir fry...then smashed a hell of a lot of vodka, I was 18/19, I woke up after passing out and remember puking all over a rug beside my bed. Undigested prawn everywhere, cured in vodka and digestive fluid. ...Good Times.

Personally, I've never heard of this man ( and I've known many performers of all types for a long time). I only just read his name in an interview Phil Spector did (in 1969), which is in The Rolling Stone Interviews (Mr Spector was explaining the difference between a 'singer' and a 'contributor'. The difference; who just sings the words, who interprets the lyrics.. He said ''Johnny Rivers is not a contribution to music, he never will be, he never can be. I don’t care if all the Johnny Rivers fans say “boo.” Just like Murray Roman will never be a comedian'. That is for posting. It's one of the few things tech's actually done, which is beneficial; it lets one access information instantly. Otherwise, I'd have to ring my mom or dad,mand say, 'who's Murray Roman? P.S.; I DO know who Freddy Roman was 😉.

Wow watching this in 2023 where the Tories are up to the exact same tricks. Weird to think that a labour party was in power for over a decade between this sketch and today. However, yet again the Tories have utterly wrecked everything that was achieved in that decade, including the economy, and once again they have gone back to telling their voters they are the only ones to keep the foreigners out. The Brits have now paid an incredibly high price to hold onto their bloody xenophobia.

I was at meetings with Alster Morton during the Construction of the tunnel and he was even more ridiculous than this dramatisation portrays him. For example, on several occasions, he said it was difficult to run the project because TML seemed more interested in making money than building a tunnel, This is precisely why TML set up, Eurotunnel in the first place. If anyone wants to make a documentary on incompetent management of large UK companies come and see me

I too was present when Alastair Morton said those immortal words. It was at a specialist boarding school for dyslexia in Brettenham on Suffolk. He was giving out the end of term prizes. I could hardly believe what I heard. He actually accused TML in “ being more interested in making a profit than building a tunnel.” I’m not sure if anyone else there realised the absurdity of this comment I only wish I had had the courage to tackle him about it. It was only later when I was able to discuss it with my husband that he confirmed that I had beef quite right in being bemused by this comment. I think we decided then that the tunnel was not in safe hands.

It is almost a miracle that this tunnel could be built at all! The premise: build a public interest work with private money was ideological and bound to generate conflicts of interests: the regulators were thinking public safety and the builders were thinking budgetary constraints. The numerous changes forced onto the project by regulators (for our own good, since the safety measures were such that as of now several fires in the tunnel have not resulted in fatalities or major injuries) have led to an enormous increase in building costs for the tunnel & the cars, leading to “restructuration” of the debt wiping out the early investors and maiming the banks. A hard learnt lesson: major innovative projects with a public good aim are best left to the State. I’m not sure, though, that the British have completely internalized the lesson; we French have, since the Panama Canal scandal in the 1880´s - although many French small investors have been singed on the Channel Tunnel alongside the Japanese banks: successive generation never really learn from their elders! __ .
