The Sky at Night since Patrick's death
With the demise of Patrick Moore it seems to me that the soul has gone
out of The Sky at Night. I've given it a few months to try to adjust to the new presentation but the programme seems much blander. Anyone else feel the same way? In his later appearances Patrick had little part to play but it's not the same without him. Any idea why the programme is so different? I've been trying to work it out but haven't come up with a clear answer. (crossposted to uk.sci.astronomy, uk.media.tv.misc) James |

I have not seen The Sky at Night for a long time, my recorder seems to have missed it, so I can't comment on the programme. I had a feeling the the BBC wanted to drop it for a long time so I was not surprised to find that it had not been recorded. I must see if I can find it on catch up although I guess that it may no be available now. |

It's more about stargazing than cosmology these days, but see below. I have not seen The Sky at Night for a long time, my recorder seems to have missed it, so I can't comment on the programme.

They should make the short programme and show it twice and then make the extension as a separate programme and show it once. It would make it easier for us to make sure we see them both, instead of having to check lengths. |

The stars will still be there. -- Max Demian |

Thanks, but TV Programmes shouldn't have to come with a user manual. A long programme called "The Sky At Night" and a short programme called "The Sky At Night School" would, as Apple would say, "just work". Unless the extra stuff is dotted through the programme, which I didn't think it was. |

It would make it easier for us to make sure we see them both, instead of having to check lengths. Quite and why make two versions in the first place? Will they cross trail them? Or at least mention the longer in the "mainstream" (read dumbed down) BBC1/2 edition. The ones I've seen sinc Mr Moores death have been reasonable and more in the "lets encourage people to look" line than a monthly science magazine about the latest astronomy news. Just always watch the BBC4 edition. But that won't be available in HD. I've already got the 20 min version as shown on BBC1 HD on Fri 6th 0006. The BBC2 HD transmission Sat 11th 1110 is also 20 mins but all the BBC4 ones are listed as 30 mins. I've set one of those to record to see what the differences are. Oh and an Horizon about Mars that follows one of the BBC4 Sky at Night Tx's. I suspect I know most of the content of that Horizon as it's by Kevin Fong who has just done 2 Discovery programmes on Mars for the World Service... -- Cheers Dave. |
