It is a Docu-drama that starts around about the point of Gagarin's flight and follows the US space program to the moon, through to Apollo 17. From what I have seen, it is very accurate, far more so than that great film The Right Stuff. I am reading the biography of Niel Armstrong at the moment, and many of the stories that are in there are in the programme.

It is available on DVD, which is how I got it... 5 disks (12 x 1hr episodes (4 disks) + 1 disk of extras).... Â£44 and worth every penny so far...

Is this the one Tom Hanks exec produced? Apparently he really got hooked on the topic after doing Apollo 11, and thought people needed to have a better idea of what had really happened - bit like him and Spielberg doing Band of Brothers after Private Ryan. I guess a TV series on Opus Dei will be next.

And I've only watched the film the four times!!! Now you see why he needed to make the series to educate people.

Apollo 13 is certainly in my top 3 films, I have lost count of the number of times I have watched it. The launch sequence, including the awsome music is just wonderful!!!!!!!

Hi Tonks,

I reckon your number one file has got to be Airplane! Right?!

:dance:
