I know Jarrod has already got a thread going on this.

But if you haven't signed the petition yet, NOW is the time to do it. Things are starting to happen fast and we need all the signatures we can get to present to the BBC.
While I realise it doesn't air here in Australia, I'm sure most of us have enjoyed watching the episodes that are on the companion disk of the Sky at Night magazine. We DO have a vested interest. We can show the BBC that it's not just folk in the UK don't want the show to stop, but people from around the globe as well.

Here's the latest from inside the campaign room.

BBC Somerset want to interview/speak to someone about the campaign.
A name has been put forward. I'll let you know who, as soon as she accepts to be spokesperson.

Karen Barker has had a call from change.org; they're doing a press release for us and I've given them a list of all the 'big names' who've tweeted about the campaign.

It was discussed on Radio 4's Today programme this morning,

Yes, please do sign.
It's starting to get a lot of publicity and at last check there was 11,000 signatures.
