Sir Patrick Moore's trousers are getting dangerously close to his chin.

He's only got about 3 inches of shirt left!
 
Well, he's only a head in the future so he'll be grand.
Jesus, did they get the people from Gamesmaster on the team for this one?

Ah no, it was the 50th anniversary of the program and they did this fucked up program 'from the future' with old Dr. Brian May from Queen talking to future Patrick 'floating head' Moore. They also had a chat with a scientist who was living, and playing golf, on Mars.

It cost about twenty quid to make, I reckon. Brian May, from the past, was apparently very pissed off about the budget for the show. Buzz Aldrin was supposed to be on it. Like he was ever in space.

The BBC is being ruined by women, says Patrick Moore

HEADLINE: The BBC is being ruined by women, says Patrick Moore

BYLINE: Adam Sherwin, Media Correspondent

BODY:


Sir Patrick Moore has identified an alien species that threatens to destroy intelligent life -the women who have taken over the BBC.

The veteran astronomer celebrated the 50th anniversary of The Sky at Night with a withering attack on the female executives he believes have dumbed down the corporation.

Sir Patrick's outburst echoes criticisms raised by Alasdair Milne, a former Director-General, who provoked a furious response when he accused a female-dominated BBC of producing "terrible" programmes.

Sir Patrick, 84, was asked by the Radio Times if television had got better or worse during a career spanning the medium's life. The answer was worse -"much worse". He said: "The trouble is that the BBC now is run by women and it shows: soap operas, cooking, quizzes, kitchen-sink plays. You wouldn't have had that in the golden days."

They have even destroyed sci-fi, Sir Patrick's personal passion. He said: "I used to watch Doctor Who and Star Trek, but they went PC -making women commanders, that kind of thing. I stopped watching."

And don't sit Sir Patrick in front of a Sophie Raworth bulletin. He said: "These jokey women are not for me. Oh, for the good old days."

He recalled: "There was one day (in 2005) when BBC News went on strike. Then we had the headlines read by a man, talking the Queen's English, reading the news impeccably."

Fortunately, Sir Patrick has a solution. Institute a gender divide and create BBC Bloke. He said: "I would like to see two independent wavelengths -one controlled by women, and one for us, controlled by men. I think it may eventually happen."

Soaps could then safely be produced and watched by women. Sir Patrick said: "I was in hospital once and I watched a whole episode of EastEnders. I suppose it's true to life. But so is diarrhoea -and I don't want to see that on television."

Sir Patrick has an ally in Mr Milne, who ran the BBC between 1982 and 1987. He said the domination of television by women was the reason it had so many "dumb" lifestyle and makeover programmes.

Sir Patrick admitted that his animosity towards his long-term employer was sparked by the scheduling of a celebratory 650th edition of The Sky at Night.

A wizard, apparently he was murdered by Christians in Alexandria around AD 411. Thoth-Hermes brought him beyond the physical plane, he manifests as important characters throughout history. The most noticable of course was the Gamesmaster creation of Patrick Moore.
