And Sir Patrick's Monocle caused CBS News' Bob Schieffer to chuckle one night

RIP Sir Patrick - the night sky has a bright star looking over us now.

April 1957, was the first episode. He hosted it right up until his passing, making him the longest-serving presenter of a television show. A remarkable man in many ways.

There's still one in the can according to Chris Lintott.

That wouldn't be a surprise given it was on last week and Moore appears to have been in pretty poor health for a while. I'm sure the show will continue, anyway, Moore's role has been reduced in recent years sothey have a team of regulars ready and no doubt willing to carry on.

Lintott has been groomed as the next Moore for a while now it seems.

The final 'Sky at Night' recorded before Sir Patrick's death is to be shown in just over an hour at midnight tonight ....

I very much hope Moon is used for this occasion.

EDIT: What a missed opportunity. Poor show, BBC.

There is still BBC Scotland at 00.10!

So you weren't watching Northern Ireland then...

Foolishly, no, I wasn't. Did anybody record?

NI to the rescue once again, it would seem.
