*** The Official Astronomy & Universe Thread ***

Does anyone have any suggestions for physics/universe style documentaries.
I can't watch the Karl Sagan ones, they're just to old and have watched all of, The Universe, The Known Universe, Wonders of the Universe, Physics of the Impossible, Horizon.
I like slightly dumb down shows with good cgi to fall asleep too.

You can get them digitally remastered now. If astronomy has taught you anything it should be that nothing is too old.

Need to get off my backside and get a telescope I think, these threads have ignited my interest and although im absolutely clueless, id actually like to learn and enjoy it.

So, with that in mind can someone recommend me a begineers book and begineers scope, I mean a decent one though but not to hard to use... just a plug and play, but able to see all the planets and the stars etc
