OK, an update. There is a relatively recent BBC Horizon special on Saturn & Titan Huygens probe, called "Saturn, Lord of the Rings'. From the small sections on various websites (low res unfortunately) it looks pretty spectacular. Have a look at this site: http://www.veoh.com/search/videos/q/...034131G7WgQJQm
Does anyone know where you can download, or buy the DVD? Fox.

PS: I am downloading it from YouTube, will convert it to a video CD, will report back tell you you what its like. Looks as though there are two versions possibly, the original BBC narration (by far the best IMHO) and a USA 'the universe-discovery' narration.

PPS: Whilst we are the topic, there is a book I thoroughly recommend "Roving Mars" by Steven Squyres (as in BBC "The Planets") covering the birth and launch of Spirit and Opportunity. It's a riveting read, you can just visualise the human effort and story involved. Fox!
