A taxi driver friend of mine does a lot of work for Patrick Moore around his home in Selsey, West Sussex and says that when he records "The Sky at Night" he insists that it's now done at his home, which is maid looked after, but still looks a tip prior to the BBC recording there, and that he is mostly wearing pyjama bottoms when recording and has more than a wee tipple before the start to steady his nerves.
Great astronomer and broadcaster though.....love him to bits. :0)
