EXTRA Sky at Night

Posted by Chris in Uncategorized

In case you haven’t spotted it, next Monday night (the 27th) is Moon night on BBC4. This includes a bonus Sky at Night which includes some fabulous images taken through Patrick’s telescopes, and Allan Chapman being let loose with a catapult.

Also worth catching on the same night is the program about the Apollo landings, which includes recovered footage (long believed lost) of the BBC’s coverage of the momentous event. Having had a sneak preview I can safely say that - especially for those of us not around the first time round - it’ll be fascinating.

All this plus the Clangers (at Patrick’s request!) and Wallace and Grommit, together with the film that launched a thousand hoaxes. What more could you want?

P.S. Sun night follows a week later…
