Patrick Moore, eh? I've looked in at "The Sky At Night" every now and then over the years. You really cannot tell what will come up. After all that time, he is on his own terms, and there is no desperate audience seeking pandering. Totally un-dumbed down, and how factual science should be. He tells you something and you get it, without the costumed reconstruction, and a telephone vote to decide who should go.
As for the man himself, I don't believe I have ever heard a bad word spoken of him. One of the few to actually deserve his Knighthood.
No matter what he looks like, there is no chance in the 'verse that he will ever go the Magnus Pyke / Adam Hart-Davis "Look at me! I'm a whacky fun scientist, who is enough of a media whore to be doing this deliberately, or alternatively too deluded to realise what a wanker I look" route.

Excellent interview. Anyone fancy trying to beat those namechecks? Thought not.

No one forget The Price Is Right! Since the 50's or thereabouts! And Bob Barker has hosted the whole time and finished every episode with "Don't forget to spray or neuter your pets."
Not to mention he trained under Chuck Norris and was a WWII Naval Aviator!
