Just watched the first fim Fachtna and although I don't have time just now to watch the second (carefully in order to comment) my first thought is that the men who intially went into the tunnel were taking a tremendous risk with their own lives. It raises the question, "was English Heritage negligent in this matter and was it more luck than judgement that prevented anyone being seriously injured or hurt??".
Excuse me for quoting my own earlier post; have done so as have now watched the second video and the obvious difference is the one you pointed out yourself Fachtna - it doesn't show the men going in during the early stages of conservation or any of the actual work being undertaken. Brave men anyway, whoever they were.

Was there something about the initial working practices that was questionable so EH did the pragmatic thing and edited that bit out ... perhaps?
