Saw about 30 seconds when they said "a sphere is the most spherical thing in the universe" or something. . If you like this, you'll love the Greenwich Planetarium show. Went last week: brilliant, made me want to cry.

8.30 tomorrow morning: partial solar eclipse. Can't wait. must remember not to look at the sun.

This seems to be a set of inverted commas too far, though...

I was in two minds about watching it, and then saw that Jonathan Ross was going to be on it. That was the clincher -- he's not allowed on our TV.

To be fair, he was only on for a couple of minutes in a 57 minute programme!

What a load of rubbish this has turned out to be! I had high hopes for this, but then I also did for Magicians. BBC suck out again!

Ive really loved this, one of the first proper presents myDad gave me was a telescope, ive not been well the past few weeks and have been in bed for a while, but this show has really kept me going. Did JR think gallifrey was a planet?

Gallifrey is/was a planet. JR's mistake was thinking it was a real one.

The only person of any celebrity status was Jonathan Ross!!!

This programme was just full of factual information and images of our universe.

No Z-list celebrities falling out of nightclubs drunk or Hollywood nip slips

And it has the cheek to call itself "Star Gazing" ! What a disgrace
