I've always tried to watch the sky at night when I can, it's an excellent program IMO.

Congratulations to Sir Patrick Moore for becoming the longest-running presenter of the same television show in the world.

May he carry on presenting for many more years.

We love you Patrick.

Wow, 54 years and still going strong. I can remember watching The Sky at Night as a kid, if I was allowed to stay up late enough, and being totally perplexed by the whole experience.  :scratch-head: Today's graphics systems clearly help, but, The Sky at Night wouldn't be The Sky at Night without Sir Patrick and his Telescope Eye.
