Two really interesting astronomy programmes on BBC4 tonight:

1st: Sir Patrick on the Ice Giants Uranus and Neptune, but also available on the website is a lost episode of the Sky At Night with Sir P interviewing Arthur C Clarke.

2nd: Horizon on "Seeing Stars" on the latest super-telescopes covering Antares telescope (talk about making things difficult for yourself - underwater FFS); SOFIA, a 747 with a difference; and the European Southern Observatory, among others. The lengths astronomers will go to!
