The Channel Tunnel (25x30)

Air date: Apr 19, 1990

Live from the Channel Tunnel. Thirty metres below the English Channel, and from the control centre on Shakespeare Cliff near Dover, a report on the biggest civil engineering project in Europe and the safety measures that are being installed. What will it be like to ride through a 50km tube under the sea? From the coast near Calais, French reporter Isabelle Staes checks on progress and investigates precautions being taken to avoid the risk of rabies.
