# I shall 'fess up
And admit that we've got the Take That concert on. :-)

As a stage show, it is abso-flippin'-lutely astounding.

It is - IMHO - a pretty much unparalleled piece of staging, technically and sonically (yes, I went along with Mrs Skotzmun to the real thing).

And it's got a feckin' big robot... I mean... big robots fer gawd's sake!

# About 40m deep, or rather, tall
It's the centrepiece for the Progress tour. I'd call a 40m tall robot as part of a stage show progress! :-)

Although I don't mind the music, to be honest. I may have been indoctrinated by the missus, but my ears no longer bleed.

If you can stand it, switch over to BBC1 now (with the sound down) and you'll see the 40m robot in all it's upstanding glory.
