BBC Stargazing Live

I find this show interesting to watch. Of course I only watched about 1.5 episodes so far. It kind of moves fast..definitely not for someone just starting out, but it covers a lot of area and the hosts keep it interesting.

Anyone else see this?

"Not available in your area". Bah ! They probably think that they have to turn it upside down for southern hemisphere viewers. Pity - I really like Brian Cox's enthusiasm.

Steve.

I saw it, there is a funny moment in the second programme about 40 minutes in.

Problem is that they wasted the clear night on the first night, because the other two nights were generally cloudy. I guess it's designed for those who never even bothered to look up to have some vague idea of what they are seeing.

If you watch the second episode, while outside talking to the camera with his back to the cloudy sky...a meteorite streaks across the sky at the moment he is proclaiming his disappointment for a cloudy sky. Pretty funny if you think about it.

I do enjoy Brian's enthusiasm as well. Sort of like watch Rick Bayless (famous chicago chef)
