He looked like Malcolm Muggeridge but that's hardly a "power".

I'm in full agreement with Newportnobby, visually stunning and well presented by Brian Cox. It's a shame Stargazing Live seems to have been cancelled, really enjoyed that and it reignited my interest in Astronomy after many years away from that particular hobby.

Unfortunately we are not running with Brian Cox and the planets here in Oz, but I will watch out for it. However, last night we had a TV program called Mission Saturn which was about the Cassini spacecraft and what it accomplished. Fascinating stuff and worth keeping an eye out for if you are interested in such things.

Wouldn't have minded seeing that! Didn't know it was on 

Hi George

It was on Foxtel and has finished now. I'm sure it'll come round again on Foxtel or on some other channel.

Amazon have informed me it's not available and are refunding my dosh
Maybe the release date has been delayed, maybe they've sold out their allocation before my order.
Dunno

One hand doesn't know what the other's doing?

Mail from Amazon this morning.........
We regret to inform you that the following items have been delayed:

  "The Planets [DVD] [2019]"
    Estimated arrival date: July 01 2019

Your account will be credited with the amount that you have already been charged for shipping for this order.  This refund should be processed within the next few days, and we will send you an e-mail to let you know when the refund has been completed.

Mail from Amazon this afternoon..........
We thought you'd like to know that we've dispatched your item(s). Your order is on the way, and can no longer be changed. If you need to return an item or manage other orders, please visit Your Orders on Amazon.co.uk

Just to keep y'all in the loop as I know you are finding this to be rivetting stuff, I have received a 3rd mail from Amazon to the effect they are refunding me £2.99 on the basis of 'late delivery'.
Now the box set was only due for release today so how they could deliver it to me today I found hard to believe anyway.
Shame really, I was hoping to get the product totally free of charge owing to their incompetence

incomptence on their part.what happened to customer is king and customer service, goodwill?
