BBC 4 tonight

[Rustyknight]

Might be an interesting programme on freeview tonight at 9pm.

"The making of Captain Cook"....... from naval nobody to national hero.

Last week's on Magellan was very interesting. Next weeks on Nansen should be excellent.

Hah! I missed the Magellan one /forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif mostly because I hardly watch tv, and don't often read the listings either. I only came across this because there's an advert at the top of the BBC homepage.

Magellan was pathetic

Depth of research zero, no interesting information, just a lot of leaping about and pulling in ropes with gritty remarks. Even ten-year-olds would find it boring. Incredibly disappointing. Hope these ones are better.

Re: Magellan was pathetic

an interesting observation but presumes a level of knowledge that might not exist.............

ie I didn't know all the facts about Mag and enjoyed the programme

Re: Magellan was pathetic

I found it interesting. And I fully expect to find tonights programme interesting aswell. For those who enjoy passive research the series is excellent.

Someone gave me a large tin of Cadbury's Roses yesterday (for services rendered).

I wonder how many I can eat before Endeavour reaches Hawaii......

I'm rather partial to the Orange Creams and find them a pleasant way of keeping my Vitamin C levels up to a healthy level

Re: Magellan was pathetic

Unfortunately, I've had those already....... you're welcome to a toffee though.
