Great first programme, thoroughly enjoyed it!

I was not that interested in this kind of thing, but I must admit I got pretty hooked once I started watching it. It got me really interested in something I previously havent been that bothered about. I think telescope sales will boom after this programme.

I agree, space has interested me, but not to the extent that I'd invest my time and money in it. However it has been nice being able to pick out certain things in the sky this year without even binoculars! I think I'll be looking up a bit more at night and try to work out what different things are

PS I also enjoyed the program, even though I didn't believe a lot of what he said, but that's a different kettle of fish

Would 'he' be the arish commedian or the double-glazing salesman

I thought the program was good especially South Africa's SALT telescope - they didn't mention it but scope stares at one point in the sky and awaits the earth turning to bring an object into view-clever. It can only turns in the horizontal axis of azimuth so the camera moves across the field to track a star. As the sky rotates over the night [and throughout the seasons] most of the sky will pass before the cameras - more at http://www.salt.ac.za/

Heh I'm not too sure what Dara's doing on there, as funny as he is, I think I would've preferred Stephen Fry

But I was referring to the saleman
