Tomorrow, Sun 14th June, NOTE: It's on at 8.00 pm, NOT the usual 10 o/c.

Chris and Maggie update us on the Rosetta comet mission.

was it recorded before Philae woke up I wonder...

Philae has woken up!!!!

Here is a link to the Rosetta Blog: http://blogs.esa.int/rosetta/2015/06/14/rosettas-lander-philae-wakes-up-from-hibernation/

I think it must have been recorded before Philae woke up.

BTW, there's a Horizon special about NASA's mission to Mars on at 7 o/c just before.

Thanks for the heads up, was thinking it was about time for S@N earlier.

Ha! Surprised me, Maggie *did* say that Philae had woken up. Perhaps part of it is live or nearly so with the rest as recorded inserts.

I only heard that in the voice-over in the closing titles. I enjoyed tonight's episode and can't wait for next month's special on the Pluto fly-past

[DaveS]

She mentioned it in the opening piece, before the title sequence.

I missed that bit - Mrs T was telling me something important about the dog's toys

Frustratingly, not on iPlayer yet.

This is making for a great story. Possibly a film at some stage.....

I just watched the programme again - Maggie's piece in the middle mentions yesterday's wake-up and the voice-over of part of the description of the landing seemed to have been re-recorded and blended into the story. Well done to the editors for doing a good job in a hurry
