Episode 2
'84 and counting ...'
 
the only DVD autobiography of the host of the UK's longest running TV programme
Special 50th Anniversary Edition (see below)

 

I have now been presenting the Sky at Night for half a century, but of course my own memory goes back much further than that.  I have met so many fascinating people, including Orville Wright, Albert Einstein, Werner von Braun, Neil Armstrong – and many others.  

With the 50th anniversary of the Sky at Night, what better time to put all this on record?  So this is what I have done.  A look back into the past, a view of the present day, and some speculations about the future. If you join me, I hope you will enjoy it.

Oh. well - here's to the next 50 years!

With a little help from Sir Arthur C Clarke, Prof Richard Gregory, Dr Allan Chapman, Prof Garry Hunt and two surviving producers from his 50 year reign, Britain's last great television personality opens the door on his extraordinary life from lift-off to TV icon of the Space Age and consultant to both the Americans and Russians on their historic Moon missions.
Devised & Directed by Charles Wallace
A Moving Image Company production
This is the extended 68 minute 50th Anniversary version of the acclaimed DVD reviewed in Sky at Night magazine: "Patrick Moore as you have never seen him before" "This disc is a gem"  *****
Focus magazine: "often hugely funny"  "filled with marvellous annecdotes"  *****.
Filmed exclusively in and around Sir Patrick's home, it is not a re-hash of old previously broadcast material, and has not been edited together out of context like some BBC programmes.  It is Sir Patrick's life in Sir Patrick's words, plus a few annecdotes from friends whom he'll "be having words with later".
