00:03 Here we are.

00:09 How long have you been working on this now, Phil?

00:11 Around, I think, 20 weeks.

00:13 We've been building for 16 weeks.

00:16 We had to send off lots of files to be CNC'd.

00:21 The parts of the roundels that run from the front face

00:24 and sort of curve like a trumpet.

00:25 Yeah.

00:26 They took a lot of work.

00:27 So they--

00:28 First things bizarrely that we worked out.

00:30 Yeah.

00:31 So that was the trickiest bit of all of this?

00:33 Exactly.

00:33 This bit was easy.

00:34 Really?

00:35 No, not at all, no.

00:37 We film on this on Monday.

00:38 On Monday.

00:39 And it's now Friday.

00:40 Yeah, it's going to be--

00:41 Feeling confident?

00:41 Yeah, it's perfect.

00:42 It's going to be fine, yeah.

00:44 There's a few bits still missing, but it's getting close.

00:47 It's missing, yeah.

00:48 I first saw this on a headset.

00:51 Oh, yeah, on the virtual reality.

00:52 Which is very exciting.

00:53 Yeah, it's really-- it's amazing to be able to use that.

00:56 And then you come in, and you have a moment where you look

00:58 at it, you think, are we misleading people?

01:00 Is it really going to be like this?

01:02 It's almost more impressive.

01:03 It's very big.

01:09 There's a lot of excellent buttons.

01:11 Yeah, we were told you like buttons.

01:13 I do love a button.

01:15 Oh, they are actually lighting up.

01:17 We've also been told you get through buttons like wildfire.

01:19 I do, yeah.

01:21 I do, but this feels perhaps more robust than the one

01:23 I remember.

01:24 On the old Taurus, things broke with such regularity.

01:27 Or I broke them, or they cracked, or whatever.

01:30 But the only thing left was the big lever.

01:32 So that was the only thing that became consistent.

01:33 Was that the only reliable thing?

01:34 Yeah.

01:35 Oh, I like that as well.

01:38 The Califrayans are just logoing it up now

01:40 so that it all makes sense.

01:42 Right, OK.

01:43 That's been cleared by the high council.

01:45 That's been cleared, yeah, exactly.

01:47 It's very fiddlable.

01:49 Good.

01:50 That was the plan.

01:53 And what we're imagining is on the lower level.

01:55 Do we know yet?

01:56 You know, it's evocative of a tokamak generator, which

02:00 is like a fusion generator to create

02:02 endless electrical energy.

02:03 This is the coffee machine.

02:08 It takes up quite a lot of space, the coffee machine.

02:09 It's quite a big coffee machine.

02:10 It's quite central to the whole--

02:12 It is.

02:12 You'd think there were other things that prioritized

02:15 on a Taurus console.

02:17 Presumably, things can be removed and will--

02:19 Yeah, exactly.

02:20 It's an organic console.

02:21 Yeah, that's something I'd love to get your take on.

02:23 It would be interesting to know if we can sort of, you know,

02:26 tweak things here and there.

02:27 I imagine story-wise, sometimes--

02:28 You just change things between episodes,

02:30 and I don't think anyone notices.

02:31 The Taurus grows it, right, and develops it.

02:33 That's exactly what it is.

02:35 The rotor moves up and down, and these paddles, or petals,

02:40 open as it moves up, and then they close as it moves down.

02:43 And then there's petals at the top that do the opposite.

02:46 Oh, nice.

02:48 And you're confident that's not going to break down?

02:50 I-- sorry, am I twitchy?

02:54 I'm really confident it's not going to break down.

02:57 I'm very--

02:57 It's not going to break down.

02:59 God, I've got to be running around these at some point,

03:01 haven't we?

03:02 There's been a lot of discussion about where

03:04 David's going to run.

03:05 They might have to slow you down.

03:07 You might get through it too quickly based on the--

03:09 I've only got a few days on here.

03:11 I'm going to make the most of it.

03:11 Yeah, it's true.

03:12 Make the most of it, yeah.

03:13 Don't want to leave too many things for Shuchi to discover.

03:15 Want to get in there first.

03:17 Thank you for your excellent tour.

03:19 Thank you.

03:20 No problem at all.

03:21 Any time.

03:21 That is very exciting.

03:22 I'm very much looking forward to getting on here.

03:24 Good.

03:24 And for the paint to be dry.

03:26 Me too.

03:27 Fingers crossed.

03:28 Yeah, one day.
