It's Okay

I am certainly thankful for any program about space, astronomy, and cosmology.

But, being British, this is a fairly flat show. Lots of talking segments, and not much illustration. It could be the aesthetic, or just a lower budget.

The hosts are okay, but not especially engaging. I would think that the BBC would have more resources, and be able to produce a more engaging show.

Agreed the program can be a bit flat at times. I quite look forward to the episodes that appear on YouTube. I do wish though they would update the theme music.

I like Sibelius, but it's a bit mournful, isn't it?

[–] old3eyes (293) 4 years ago

Yes that's the problem with the theme.

My wife says "Pleaze change the music to something modern"

I like the whole idea of astronomy in principle, but it sure sends me to sleep, whether I'm watching this program or going to lectures on the subject.

Yeah, it's really too bad. They need someone who has enthusiasm for astronomy and knows how to make engaging television to run this.
