Well guess who I've just seen on the tv!

Nice little bit - longer than I expected it to be too. Good work.

P.s. can l have your autograph?

Just finished airing, great uplifting story but I hope the BBC didn’t make you take your scope apart just for the feature.

A good piece and studio link - also looking forward to  more episodes of 13 min to the Moon.

Congratulations Arnaud, and great publicity for the hobby.
(first time I've ever watched the One Show)

I don't know... I am famous now....  Maybe I should protect my brand 🤭🤭🤭

I sometimes let the One Show run on after watching local news so it was good to catch this almost by accident. Well done, @FrenchyArnaud.  Great publicity for the hobby.  And now we have a TV star in our midst!  

How did the BBC know to contact you to make this little film for the One Show? 

[skyhog]

You should be proud of that, a great advert for the hobby well done....👍👍

[Marvin Jenkins]

I second all of the above. I watched it with air of someone on the inside (not prison) but someone slightly in on the show.

I liked it very much. Be proud of your efforts and how they have been shown, you deserve it I think.

Wow that was a nice piece on the One Show, you did yourself and the Astro community proud Arnaud.

I really liked the link to the past and the surprise at the end.

Wonderful.

I shared a cheeky meme on a facebook group comparing my 130pds to hubble. (a very sound, credible and totally justified comparison) 

 

That attracted a local journalist, then other journalists, then someone from the bbc saw the newspapers and messaged again on FB...

Thanks. I was given the track a few weeks ago and of course I recorded the tv 🙂

 

Well, that was my 5mins of fame and it's now gone 🤭

Typical of the GF. Vic is as brilliant with gifts as I am inept 🤣 Got me to pilot a WWII warbirds, took me to the World Final of snooker, brought me original copies of Jules Verne (I am french and a vintage scifi enthusiast) , offered me a deluxe full scale print of  DaVinci Leicester Codex (he is one of my heroes) etc - she always knows exactly what to do. And she pulls up with my antics and lets me invade the flat with my electronics, bits of telescopes, camera stuff etc. She's brilliant.

No, the electronic bits you saw on the desk are actually the prototype for the next instalment (I am building a much heavier mount based on OnStep).

Got a link to the episode so maybe some of us have a chance to watch it on this side of the pond?
