Sky at Night

Decent slot BBC4 1930 - 2000 Thu 10th Oct but for some reason my
recorder didn't pick it up via series link so if you rely on that,
don't! Adding it to be recorded doesn't offer the series link option
either. Presumably because this is a "special"?

Note that the showings on BBC4 are the 30 min not the 20 min version
as shown on BBC1 or BBC2. Well at least that is the size of the BBC4
slots in the EPG, even if the episode listings on the BBC website all
say 20 min.

Yes, the BBC4 ones are the 30 minute XL version (or should one say the
NSBS [Not So Bloody Short] version?) and contain a bit more material
which is edited out of the initial late night BBC1 showing.

Hardly. More like: "This programme is one that used to include scenes of a
scientific nature."

Yep, dumbing down is the first step on the road to oblivion. In fact
on that observation the BBC should have been obliterated long ago :-)

Good job you put the smiley. ;o)
Looking at the dire 'science' offerings now being shown by the
Discovery network and History channel, at least BBC science programs
do contain *some* science rather than 'rednecks' bidding on storage
lockers or Eric-Von-Fvcking-Daniken appearing on shows like
'Ancient Aliens'.. All TV science is being dumbed down in every
Western nation for some reason. Worrying.
