I went up to Birmingham to record the voiceover for the interview with Eugene Cernan, which included a sneak preview of the programme. I’m really pleased with it; the team have done a great job of cutting down nearly two hours of interview while keeping the best bits. There are a few surprising comments, and a couple of stories that send a shiver down your spine. As the modest man I am, I don’t always plug the programme on the blog, but this one really is required watching, if only for some of the shots that the team have pulled out of the archives.

BBC One : Sunday night (early Monday morning) 00:45
BBC Four EXTENDED EDITION (Watch this one if you can) : Monday evening 19:30

But what if you can’t wait until Sunday or Monday for your Sky at Night? If you have access to BBC4 you don’t have to! Tonight there’s a repeat of our meteor special (the filming for which was one of the more surreal nights of my life). That’s on at 19.30. Then this Sunday is satellite night on BBC4, and our contribution looks at the British contribution to the space age. That’s 20.30 on BBC 4.

Enjoy. (And if you’re not in the UK, remember all of these will end up on the magazine cover disc, and the Cernan interview will land on the website before too long.
