This series was the best one yet!  Loved the experiments - gyroscope in a garden shed and collapsing a huge metal tank.  The astronaut training given to John Bishop was quite enlightening.  Hunting for pulsars then finding them with Jodrell Bank's radio telescope.

Then tonight's highlight - coverage of Tim Peake's space walk.

Well done BBC!

I've watched the first so like Carole I'm still on catchup.

The shed defying gravity was excellent however I wouldn't like to be on that space station if one of those flywheels came loose !!!

I thoroughly enjoyed the first and last nights. Missed Thursdays installment as I was in the obsy having fun. No BBC catchup available here.

Ah, but can it be done on a Humax Freesat box so I can watch it on telly? I think not. I can do ITV catchup on it but who would want to...
