MEOf'imn MAIL TRIBVXK. MEfWI. tmVCON SUNDAY. OCTOBER 20, A 3 On the Air By ELEANOR WIESE A 'fantastic piece of work," the news documentary "The Tunnel" will be repeated at 3:30 p.m. on KMED-TV.

"The Tunnel was filmed dur ing the summer of 1962 as a group of West Berlin students worked 24 hours a day digging a 450-foot underground passage way beneath the Berlin Wall to East Berlin. The long and dangerous un dertaking and the subsequent rescue of 59 East Berliners were followed closely by the news cameramen, maintaining the secrecy of the operation. j Television critics in the Unit-) States and England acclaimed the program as a "thrilling and adventurous example of televis-j ion ai lis oesi, laniasuc, a priceless visual record" and "absolutely overwhelming." In addition, the documentary received ten national awards in cluding the Emmy award as "Program of the Year." When Shakespeare turned out "The Tempest" 350 years ago, he was blissfully unaware that it would someday seem just right for television. But the electronic marvels of TV can reproduce the playwright's most fanciful improbabilities the trickeries of a sprite or the mysteries of magic. Perhaps of more importance, the home viewer can hear Shakespeare's lovely lines with a clarity seldom matched in the theater. Maurice Evans is well cast as the wise Prospero and Roddy McDowall portrays with "just the right touch of pathos" his dutiful sprite, Ariel, who stays assassins, serenades lovers and calms the seas. As the brutish Calaban, Rich ard Burton gives a "sullen but oddly appealing" perfromance. Tom Poston palys the buffoon, Trinculo, and Lee Remick is Prospero's beautiful daughter, Miranda.
