This sounds interesting... I like documentary's, but I dont watch them offen as I find the presenters/narrators voices very dull... but James makes me want to learn things! Not to sound a bit dim, but he makes it easy for me! |

That is the whole point of a good documentary and its presenter, making you want to explore the subject further on your own. There are a lot of 'heavy' documentaries out there that are really only of interest to people who either know a lot or have a big interest in the subject mater. I am glad they exist though, TV should be for everyone. James and the moon, what more could a happy fangirl want? |

Less mysterious is BBC's desire to work the presenters of Top Gear to death: as part of the same lunar season, James May undertakes astronaut training for James May on the Moon. Perhaps we can send Clarkson to Mars next... ;D

Aww, that would be a nice treat. I got one like that on my birthday a few years ago, Alice Cooper on a digital radio show. I did have to get up at 6am to hear it though, that wasn't so good.

Have been writing Beeb-A literally begging for them
to show James+Moon on the actual anniversary date,
of Neil Armstrong's "One small step...". One might
think it would be sensible programming for the occasion.
But this is BBC's American Cousin. ;D

www.bbc.co.uk/pressoffice/pressreleases/stories/2009/04_april/22/bbctwo_en.shtmlTeaser video! I can't see it because it's UK only, but I know I can trust you lovely ladies to help me and the others out on that one. I can see the pic though.   James May On The Moon
As part of a season of programming on BBC Two and BBC Four to celebrate 40 years since the first moon landing, James May takes a "giant leap" into space history to discover the stories of the heroes behind this auspicious historical event.
In James May On The Moon, the BBC's Top Gear presenter learns to use an astronaut's space suit as he trains for three days with the United States Air Force before travelling to the edge of space in a U2 spy plane. At 70,000 feet, James looks up into the blackness of space and down at the thin blue atmosphere beneath him, an experience that he says "changed his life".
It may only be a small leap into space for James, but it helps him to understand the achievements of the Apollo astronauts. Along the way he meets some of the men who went to the moon, experiences zero gravity and endures the force of a Saturn V rocket launch in a centrifuge.
