As well they should. It's them who will be fired should we fail at this early stage. Day ahead of schedule or not, this is the early stages and all eyes are on them to make a good start. Like Liverpool in the current season. Okay, bad example.
As always, it requires a bit of heavy lifting on the part of our workers. I have to give them some credit here: not once was there a complaint about the effort needed to life the gargantuan slabs of material into place. They just got to it, asking only for a cup of tea and a bacon sandwich in return.
That's easy enough - they're very tiny, making tiny cups of tea and bacon sandwich is bloody simple. It's practically crumb-like pieces to me.
It's then a simple case of putting the square-axle (originally hexagonal) into the circular hole, and it's at this point I simply give up and accept that Time-Lords are either genius', or utterly mad.
The final part is the most difficult. The edge-flaps must be turned over and inserted into their opposite slot. It's not easy - individually they're bloody difficult to fit into the right place, as one it's near-impossible. As I watch the crew I wonder how tough it would be for someone of, say, my own size and with my own fingers to get the job done and I shudder. Frankly, it would require a craftsman with some extremely dexterous fingers and patience.
These gentlemen however, have that right amount of strength and perseverance that sets them apart from other workers. They will not rest until the work is done.
Let us not regard this effort lightly. It may have looked easy, but this first effort required strength and determination of the highest order. If this structure is not properly built, it will mean the entire TARDIS is faulty. Fear not! I have complete confidence my crew have completed this section of the vessel beyond requirements!
