Wonders of the Universe

You are probably right with Lintott taking over if they keep the show in the same format, but when Moore does finally finish then they may try to move the show to an earlier slot with a new format. You know what the BBC are like and they never leave anything alone, but seeing as Moore has done this show since the beginning I believe they will continue to respect his presenting style and the show until he does finish.

The stargazing live show that Cox and Ó Briain presented on, may have been the BBC 'testing the water' so to speak with a possible format change for the sky at night, to allow it to bring astronomy/cosmology/physics to a more general audience as currently the show is very target audience specific, which coincidentally is what appeals to me ;) .

I could be completely wrong about the above as im basing it entirely on my own hunch :) .

Neither can I, I said towards the end of last year that I felt he wouldnt last much longer. I can see him departing our planet either this year or the next. Will be a massive blow to lose someone like him to be honest. He should definitely be buried in Westminster in my opinion, right alongside Isaac Newton. Though it wouldnt surprise me at all if he has something in his will to say that his ashes must be fired into space or placed on the moon :)

I'm sure it's not intended this way, but personally I do find this sort of discussion some what distasteful... He'll go when he goes, in the meantime leave him be...

No its not intended distastefully, but I'm sure some might take it that way, hell some people take discussing all manner of things as distasteful so its odds on that someone might.

I guess I am just callous in that I sometimes think to myself when I see someone (like I did when I saw Alex Higgins) that it "cant be long now". I mean no insult by it, its just the way I think and I am prone to openly discussing the way I think. Apologies if anyone took it to heart.

No problem :)

He really is a bit of a national treasure though isn't he! So there's been 700 episodes of the Sky At Night, of which he's presented 699. Why did he miss that one episode?

He absolutely is, not just for what he has done in a scientific capacity but also for a multitude of other things. He has been somewhat sexist in the past and I'm sure the anti-andy gray , anti-richard keys people would have a field day with some of the things that he has said and demand he be taken off the tv, but I say stuff 'em :)

Its such a shame that he never had children to whom he could pass on his passions to
