I still got enjoyment out of it, to be honest the fact that it is not a studio polished production added to it in some ways for me rather than detracting form it. Just a few of the presumably pre recorded sequences struck a wrong key for me as I know enough to know they were talking out of their hats with regard to what they could see. But given the production timeframes they dont exactly have the time to go back another night so that someone can ohh and ahh about an actual view of Jupiter rather than having to act like they were when it was obviously total cloud cover. The perils of live and near live TV.
Yep! They were not preaching to the converted. I'm glad they were making a serious effort to translate astronomy into the lingua Franca.
