What Is the Oak Table?

"There was a belief in corporeal resurrection. That, you know, come the last Trump, on the day of judgment, you would be resurrected as you were," he says. "If somebody had cut you into bits, that was difficult." The room is made up of two doors: an oak door and a sliding metal door which goes down into the ground. It's almost like King Arthur's round table - gimbaled to rotate at one stage.
