Light Fantastic (SBS doco)

Just caught the second half of an episode of the doco series Light Fantastic on SBS. What I saw was about the investigations into the nature of light by Newton. Looked interesting. Next week's episode promises to get into telescopes & astronomy. Does anyone know more about this show?

I missed recording it . SWMBO commanded the TV . By the time she fell asleep the show had finished . Was it worth while looking at . I need to know whether my despair is worth it or not for missing the programme.

It was fantastic h0ughy. Best program I've ever seen. Just jokin' It was interesting, more a history lesson though some interesting aspects of evolving aspects of light theory.

I watched the whole thing. I saw the ads for it during the Ashes so thought it would be a good thing to catch, same as the Red Baron doco last night. I did think that this week was the Galileo part, but it was still good.

Can't wait for next week. I'm sure that you can buy the series on DVD.

two glasses of merlot red sherbets and a lounge to herself usually works Asimov, but lately the kids are playing up and not allowing that?
