Description

M. Batisse discusses the delay to the Channel Tunnel. He predicts the tunnel will be ready by 1971. Ah, hindsight... At least he was right about cars being loaded onto carriages for transport. M Batisse predicts the final cost being £160m.  In actual fact, the tunnel was not completed until 1985 at a cost of £9billion.
