BM: I was intrigued whether people working have Nick-names for particular things like exhibits or places?

JC: ((laughs)). Um - The Discovery Room is kind of - that's just shortened to Disco. Yeah. Up in The Disco or you do Disco Boxes or. So that kind of, that's - um - I don't think anything else, I mean I suppose the fact that this is known as the Blue Box is probably a Neil-name in it's own way though I don't quite, it just always has been. Um and the one above is Blue 2. ((pause)) ((laughs)) There are the odd nickname for directors which probably shouldn't be (printed) um ((laughs)) they - I mean those sort of things tend to be sort of short term, according to cartoons of the day or whatever. Um - can't think of any other specifics. I don't think any of the exhibits particularly do - because a lot of the names anyway are kind of silly or - they're kind of puns anyway a lot of them. So there's no point in changing them - when you've already got something that's not taking itself terribly seriously.
