This years UK Royal Institution Christmas Lectures where given by Dr
Monica Grady of the NHM, and all 5 were broadcast live on Channel 4 (in
the UK).

Anybody else see this?

See http://www.channel4.com/science/microsites/R/rilectures2003/

The subject was a Journey through space, I thought they where quite a
good set of lectures, although I thought the meteorite content was a
little disappointing, I would have liked more on meteorics given her
status
She had a very large slice of I think Springfield and a couple of other
very large chunks. There was a good demonstration of how craters form.


As I say over all, I enjoyed them, especially the lecture on Mars, but I
thought the pitch was geared too far towards young children rather than
the usual young adult level, and this made it appear a little too
'Dumbed down' as everything is these days! (Not a criticism just an
observation).


Anyone else in the UK see this?


Happy new year all !

Mark Ford
