More A Way Of Life… Look, this is just between you and me

Titanic

I know, I know, it's a crap play on words, but someone had to do it.

We got very excited yesterday by the arrival of Huygens on Titan, following the news through the day and much looking forward to the BBC programme about it late in the evening.

What a crashing disappointment. Not the news or the photos or anything about the mission itself. I'm talking about the crappy Open University programme that was given over to it. The horror of the dreadful Adam Hart-Davis presenting was enough to put us off in a major way, to the extent that I gave in tiredness and went to bed halfway through.

It's a shame that even my excitement about all things cosmic can be dented by dull presentation.
