John: they start on 28th December Channel 4 at 1.55 p.m. - subject this year is "Voyage in Space and Time", continue every day until New Year's Day. All the other programmes except the first one start at 12.05 p.m. Speaker is Dr. Monica Grady of the Natural History Museum. She's going to talk about the Beagle 2 mission, big bang theory, solar system, liklihood of an asteroid colliding with the earth,and ask whether life-forms could exist elsewhere in the solar system. Good stuff !

I always enjoy those programmes, too.
