Nice one Dave. Well jealous of you guys.
I noted in one of the images that Patricks wheel chair is covered by a black blanket/fleece is this something that the BBC or Patrick himself is doing to hide the fact that he is in a wheelchair? Or something else? We all know by now about his mobility problems.

There is only 2 people i hold in similar high regard for work ithey have done and brought public awareness on the topic to their particular fields of expertise.

Patrick Moore (Don't call me Sir) and Sir David Attenborough.

Both living legends.
