+DaveJW Posted December 19, 2013 Share Posted December 19, 2013 I didn't know this, must have missed the news: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-25109143 Got to admit I don't know who she is, but at least it means that the program is continuing.

Perkil8r Posted December 19, 2013 Share Posted December 19, 2013 I've seen her before on some of the Space / Science programing on the BBC, I can't say as I am a particular fan of her style, but I am happy that S@N has a future Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glider Posted December 19, 2013 Share Posted December 19, 2013 The BBC did a couple of documentaries earlier this year with her; Do We Really Need the Moon? and In Orbit: How Satellites Rule Our World. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daz Type-R Posted December 20, 2013 Share Posted December 20, 2013 I've seen her before on some of the Space / Science programing on the BBC, I can't say as I am a particular fan of her style, but I am happy that S@N has a future +1 for that, happy it is still on but not a fan of her style.

cosmic dave Posted December 20, 2013 Share Posted December 20, 2013 She used to do the space stuff on bbc breakfast, I will reserve my judgement for now and see how she gets on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rusty Strings Posted December 21, 2013 Share Posted December 21, 2013 What's the problem with current presenters? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Perkil8r Posted December 21, 2013 Share Posted December 21, 2013 I'm guessing they want to start a fresh, personally I think there are far better candidates out there, but I am still just pleased that our little bit of BBC programing is being given a chance to continue. Prof Brian Cox or Dara O'Brien would have been awesome for the task IMO but I am guessing they would want too high a wage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig Posted December 21, 2013 Share Posted December 21, 2013 Prof Brian Cox or Dara O'Brien would have been awesome for the task IMO but I am guessing they would want too high a wage. The problem is they'd make it too mainstream and that would probably end S@N anyway. It was always a niche program for a niche audience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catman161 Posted December 21, 2013 Share Posted December 21, 2013 It would bring it to the masses though and perhaps raise the profile of astronomy and research in the UK may as a result get the funding it deserves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cosmic dave Posted December 21, 2013 Share Posted December 21, 2013 I should imagine the big boys wouldn't want it, who wants to be known as the guy that killed Sir Patrick's sky at night not good for the CV I would have thought? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Perkil8r Posted December 21, 2013 Share Posted December 21, 2013 You know who I think would be good? Paul Money. Slightly bonkers and thoroughly entertaining. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cosmic dave Posted December 21, 2013 Share Posted December 21, 2013 Yeah we had a chat about this at one of our elac meets, I think he would be brilliant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
