Default Sky at Night Prog June

It's worth noting that the next programme is on on Sat 5th (12:45 to
13:10 BST), repeated on Monday the 7th (00:50 to 1:15 BST), a reversal
of the usual pattern so that they both go out before the transit on
the 8th.

I was chatting to PM last night when he started describing his 12 inch
reflector. He just dropped into the conversation that this was the
one he used in the discovery of the Mare Orientale (on the Moon).
What a claim to fame!

Googling it up I see it's credited as being discovered by "Percy
Wilkins and his friend Patrick Moore".

Impressive stuff.

Just tried to set this on Sky+ and it isn't in the schedule for that time
on the Saturday.

Digiguide is showing it as the following:

The Sky at Night (Scientific Documentary)
Starting: 23:55 on Sunday 6th June. Duration: 25 minutes
Showing on BBC 1.

But I won't be able to confirm that until Monday as it only does 7 days in
advance.

I think you are right: The Radio Times web site now shows the
programme per your post and no programme listed on Saturday 5th. Still
nothing on the Sky at Night web site sigh.

The Sunday Times TV Guide shows not the Sky at Night but a programme at
13.20 on Saturday on the Transit entitled "Stardate - The Transit of Venus"
presented by that tax man Adam Hart-Davis. The review mentions live links
to Greece and Egypt on BBC on the 8th.

Next week's Radio Times should make it clear tomorrow.
