Documentary on Friday evening about last weeks Russian meteor strike

[+Bino-viewer]

This should be worth watching : it's on 'Quest' , Sky Channel 154 at 20:00hrs.

A one off documentary. (I think 'Quest' is also available on Freeview, though I'm not sure of it's channel number)

Nice one thanks for heads up. For any virgin media people (like me) I believe quest is channel 179 (I think-don't quote me). Will set the box to record

[+RonC]

Thanks Rob, Sky+ set!

[Guest Turtleboy]

Same here. Recorder set. Thanks

[Daz Type-R]

Sky box set - thanks.

[Guest Meteoriot]

Super thanks!

[Guest Meteoriot]

Why not dedicate a thread for things like this? A heads up all all potentially good Astro or science related tv programs?

[Tweedledee]

Thanks Rob, that should be good.

Programmed in on the Tivo box, cheers.

[Brantuk]

Thanks Rob - I'll look for that - good heads up

[Guest Meteoriot]

It was worth a watch I suppose. They got lots of facts wrong though. Even when they later corrected themselves they were still wrong! Lol

Too "americanised" for my liking I am afraid. Lots of inaccuracies as stated above and just so melodramatic! Got downright annoying towards the end for me personally .

[Guest Turtleboy]

I have to agree with the above. Very badly presented and verging on annoying.

But then they don't have Brian Cox.

[+RonC]

Kept showing the same bits of video clip!! Annoying or what?!!

[Daz Type-R]

I agree Ron, after watching the same video clips for the 4th time I turned off.

Justa bit of a heads up on this thread

Channel 4 on Sunday at 9pm have a program about the meteor with unseen footage and

scientists that were local to the air blast

 

As mentioned about the US versions they tend to repeat themselves over and over

again as if they don’t think the viewers will understand what they're explaining

They over sex it up, dramatic music, weird camera angles  etc,   

 

one of the reasons I got fed up with the Discovery /History channels docs just give me the facts few graphic etc

Maybe worth a watch will have to record it as it clashes with Mr Selfridge   :facepalm:  

CH4 and the BBC tend to aim at a higher level in their documentaries’ (well some times CH4 let's themselves down) My gispy wedding

 

 

[Guest Meteoriot]

Super thanks!

My TV guide says 8pm but thanks for the headsup!!!

[Allan the Plumber]

Yeah sorry your right Richard

 

 just checked I think I got confused as I recorded the documentary on the Comet (Plane) that exploded on CH4 +1 last sunday and during a break they advertised nexts weeks doc on the meteor think I must of got confused

 

Will have to recorded it anyway as its "Call the Midwife" at 8

 

Sad life maybe get clear skies and be outside!!   Nah don't think so with this weather pattern

[Guest Meteoriot]

Haha.

I too had 'tv conflicts'
