For the 40th anniversary episode, Patrick traced the story of the telescope, from Galileo's 16th century optik' tube to the Hubble Space Telescope and beyond. Patrick travels the world in the programme, thanks to producer Pieter Morpurgo's clever editing of 10 years' worth of carefully planned clips. lt meant Patrick could start a sentence in Africa and finish it in Greenwich.
