It was a very good programme indeed, and nice to see some faces I corresponded with over the past few years! I'm sure Martin enjoyed it?

I enjoyed it very much, great show with beautiful starscapes and I've always been a big fan of Don Yeomans as well. My only gribe was the over use of the word asteroid, it was almost as if comets didn't exist at all, although I suppose the show was about asteroids in the first place. They said an asteroid caused the Tunguska event when I have always read that it was a fragment from comet Encke, I am sure David Asher would support that too.  Smiley

Nice ending about the asteroids named after them, a few us can identify with that, the line about 'a bullet with his name on it' got a good laugh from me  Grin
