You had me worried for a moment - I thought the American special forces had been sent in to get them out!

But it was God who put them there. If he'd wanted to help them surely he'd have dug the hole himself? (But I agree with the sentiment).

Do you think when it gets to the last three they will be fighting to be the last one down? He'll be the one to be played by Bruce Willis in a couple of years time.

Apparently the last one out will be the foreman who has managed to maintain the morale of his men and was able to ration food supplies. Incidentally I've noticed he is also the largest gent down there. Role to be portrayed by Ricky Gervais in the style of David Brent!

I've not seen this many miners come out of the ground since the police raided Fred West's house.

But all joking aside its been a fantastic feat of modern engineering, and compulsive viewing . a few years ago those miners would have perished. Well chuffed.

Was that the German version of the 1970s cop show with Richard Roundtree and the funky theme tune?
