He's on again. Tonight BBC2 20:30 "Stargazing Live". Be there or be elsewhere. Dara O Briain will be there too
Great timing it is too, the sky has been clear the past few nights, especially yesterday and looks set to be good here again tonight. Venus and Jupiter shining oh so brightly and Orion resplendent in the heavens.

After the last one, Bruce Willis will need to drive off the top of the Mattorhorn and bring down a whole fleet of supersonic jets.
Otherwise we'll know he's slipping.

Patrick Moore doesn't get paid anything at all!

People who constantly grin for no apparent reason are at best disconcerting and often creepy and sinister, and for me that makes his documentaries utterly unwatchable, despite the interesting subject matter.

I would say it's considerably less childish than other science programs, since it doesn't rely on rapid camera angle changes and pounding bass or other stuff for 5-second attention spans.
I've also enjoyed watching Jim Al-Khalili's 'Everything and Nothing'; quite a lot of overlap with Brian Cox's programme, but very enjoyable.
