I liked that, almost all background and not loads of OMG MOON!, pleasant surprise from the usual bias towards apollo 11 above all else.

Good call on the NASA and oil industry, very interesting.
I got a taste for docs so I've acquired The Ascent of Man. Which is so far very interesting, if a little dated.

Continuing the space stuff, James May talking to Astronauts, doing some weightless training, and apparently being strapped into a Saturn V according to the blurb on iPlayer:
http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b0 ... _the_Moon/
Oh, and he also flies to 70,000 feet, which is still quite a way off the 320,000 ft up that space is officially.

Oh yes, I've got that downloaded on iPlayer. I should watch it!

I did like that rather too, but I dunno, the top-gear-presenteryness sometimes doesn't work for me.

I watched it after top gear. Was okay but would have been better not straight after, felt like a captain slow report for top gear on spaec.

He seem to have had a lot of boyhood dreams that fit precisely with the programmes he's presenting, ie: trains, robots, space.
I don't dislike him, but Top Gear seems to have changed him from excitable nerdy enthusiast into someone more laddish and he'd have been a better presenter for things like this the way he was a few years ago.
He's a bit like the straight man without a punchline, in this we see him being a bit rubbish at space training, but there's no Clarkson and Hammond to laugh at him. It would have been better if he'd described the experiences a little better, saying why they were difficult.

I liked Mental...and of course, it's prolly gonna get cancelled. So, Burn Notice acquired the main character from Mental. He was quite good. Hopefully, will be a nice addition to Burn Notice.

Chris Vance, who's currently headlining Fox's shrink procedural Mental, is Burn Notice-bound.
Sources confirm to me exclusively that the ex-Prison Breaker has booked a four-episode arc as Gilroy, a sophisticated and ruthless former MI-6 bigwig who now oversees freelance black ops.
Translation: He's about to make life hell for one Michael Westen.
Vance will appear during the second half of Burn Notice's current third season, tentatively scheduled to air in early '10. The gig won't conflict with Vance's Mental duties since production on the drama's first (and likely only) season wrapped months ago.

Just watched eps 2 and 3 of that.
Damn interesting, what with it being pretty recent history that you never really learn about in school etc.
