According to Horizon (on now), we could all be the aliens SETI@home has been looking for. 
Oh well, that's the end of that then.

Uh oh. Are we the aliens we've been looking for?

False alarm. Seems they got my hopes up too early. 
I've stopped watching Horizon.
It used to be an excellent and informative programme but has turned into a sensationalist, scaremongering tabloid of a programme lately - a great shame.

Yup, big headline grabbing first 30 seconds, then it turned into nothing but bacteria. Oh, and for those who were watching, the Europa mission might never happen (last I heard it was on the line for being cut, so it may have gone already by now).

Panorama > Horizon tbh.
Panorama used to be the political deep thought-provoking thing, and Horizon the science one. Now Panorama seems to delve into science a little (but not much), and Horizon has gone low-brow.Phnom_Penh said:

Horizon has been dumbed down tbh, I remeber a few years back there was one on string theory which was bloody good, but since then they seem to have been weaker and weaker.Berserker said:Panorama used to be the political deep thought-provoking thing, and Horizon the science one.

Panorama seems to be delving into a science more and more (but gradually).

Old school Equinox was where it was at.
It was an interesting show tonight, far better than the usual light on science shows that Horizon has resorted to in the past few years.

Have to agree, the 'ohh noes the computers are taking over the world' one really got on my nerves.Bigstan said:I've stopped watching Horizon.

Typical bbc technology coverage i'm afraid, dumbed down so much its useless to anyone who knows anything about it and meaningless to anyone who doesn't.
Having said that, the 'Are chimps humans too?' one was quite interesting.

Equinox and Horizon have both resorted to trying to win audience share with 'Blockbuster Science' recently. So I've quit watching.
From the discussion above I'm assuming it was about the 'Red Rain' in India.

Indeed it was. Oddly, I'd never heard about that before, so I did learn at least a few new things, even if it was dumbed-down science.
Yeah, that was a classic. Given how long it lasted, a constant stream of meteors and bats would have been required.
Unless someone was trialing some new bat WMD.

i think dulux were secretly trying to dump all their old stock of red paint, they tried to fire it in a rocket into space, but the rocket turned out to be something nasa sold on the net to make some money back from the international space centre fiasco, so of course being built by NASA it didnt make it into space and exploded in the outer atmosphere, thus causing the "somic boom" referred to and then as the paint filtered into the clouds, it caused red rain. after all, who really paints their walls red??
this is my theory

I thought they gave it all to Sony to blast at soon-to-be-demolished houses in Glasgow. Although, since the red rain was in 2001, they probably did both.mikeymike said:
