chickencam Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 Did anyone else see this last night? It was fascinating and did a really good job to explain how the tides work etc. I hadn't realised quite how influetial the moon is on the earth I think that they should show these sort of programmes in school, it would really inspire children and give them a much more approachable introduction to science. I only watched it because my DS came down and asked if I would like to watch it with him, I am so glad that he did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gongladosh Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 yeah, really enjoyed that last night. It's another show that Chris Evans recommended on his breakfast show earlier on in the day - these days I wach pretty much everything he recommends now!

Richard T Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 It was really fascinating. I've been thinking about it all day. And I've seen the presenter, Dr Maggie Aderin-Pocock, on other space programmes and she's very good. She really gets her enthusiasm across. 10 out of 10 from me.

Old Speckled Hen Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 Just caught up with this. I love things like that. Thanks for the link, chickencam. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
docsquid Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 I really liked the programme, and I love Maggie Aderin-Pocock too. She is so enthusiastic but also eccentric, and comes across as a bit of a young, female Patrick Moore! I really love people who are so passionate about what they do - it makes the viewing much more authentic. I like these type of shows much better than those that are narrated by actors (e.g. John Hurt is narrating The Human Planet - fine, but it isn't as involving as say David Attenborough doing the same thing).
