Stretching the topic a bit, but could Freema Agyeman make the step from Sci-fi to Sci-fact?
I'd certainly be happy to let her try.
And what exactly is wrong with an "ad hominem" argument? Dodgy Agent, 16-5-2014Comment

Well I never did.
I managed to stay awake through the Horizon from last week, all about fat.
It was quite interesting.
Not a quark to be seen.
Nor a Higgs boson.
Marvelous.Comment

Though I did watch it at 6:30.Comment

It was ok.
I think I beamed out a bit towards the end, but it was reasonably interesting.
Even managed to mention the Little Ice Age and not mention hockey sticks, which is remarkable.
The best bit was at the end, when the chap said that the planet basically doesn't care two hoots about global warming since it's been far warmer & far colder in the past.
The only ones concerned about it are the hu-mans and what passes for their civilisation which has come about in a period of unusually stable climate.Comment

Don't think I quite dribbled & snored though.
I definitely slept through a bit of the thing about metals on BBC4 & that was on at 19:30.Comment

They managed to measure gamma rays that have been travelling for 14 billion years and found a 5 second anomaly which proves light isn't a constant.Science isn't about why, it's about why not. You ask: why is so much of our science dangerous? I say: why not marry safe science if you love it so much. In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won't hit you in the butt on the way out, because you are fired. - Cave JohnsonComment

If you are serious about getting some decent Astronomy on your tv: The Great Courses - Understanding the Universe: An Introduction to Astronomy, 2nd Edition
Look at the 'set' including his course on Black Holes at the bottom of the page. 54 hours worth of quality tv. Makes Horizon look like a BBC Kids programme.
Best £150 I ever spent on DVDs. Period.nomadd liked this postComment
