Hi Patrick, No need to go completely cold turkey if you can find a copy of the Sky at Night Magazine on the news stand. Each episode is on the CD which comes with it - or at least it used to be. Do you know if this will still be the case now the on line archive has stopped Chris? Cheers Robin Patrick said,

Hi Patrick,

No need to go completely cold turkey if you can find a copy of the Sky at Night Magazine on the news stand. Each episode is on the CD which comes with it – or at least it used to be. Do you know if this will still be the case now the on line archive has stopped Chris?

Cheers

I am as dissapointed as you. But a more lasting disappointing is the decision to stop making Sky at Night available to the US via the Web. Watching the monthly installment on the BBC website was something my friends and I have waited for every month since discovering the show last year. We enjoyued the show so much we even developed a drinking game called "That's Right" in which we had to down a beer every time someone said 'That's right" on the show. Now that the BBC has switched to iPlayer and is not making it available outside the UK, Sky at Night will just be a lovely (if sometimes foggy) memory. We'll miss you , brother.
