Brilliant.What memories it evokes.James Burke,Patrick Moore.The music I seem to recall is 'Also Sprach Zarathusa' (or something similar).If the two names don't mean anything to you,then you are not of a certain age!

Funny you should mention James Burke. Working my way through the first series of Connections on Netflix. He's a very fascinating chap indeed.

Hi CJWetc!!.I agree with you regarding James Burke.You may not know that a TV series of 'Connections' was shown here in the UK several years ago and it was a truly fascinating series.Probably wouldn't be made today unless it was seriously dumbed down!If you can find it on DVD or tape it is well worth watching.

EricT.Edit.Oops,having re-read your post,I presume you are already watching the TV series.
