I quite enjoyed it, although there was a litte too much of the wives and kids, but I guess that's to keep female viewers interested. Would have been nice to see a bit more of the science.
Also interesting that the Russians and Americans keep apart a lot of the time, Iread somewhere that they are not supposed to enter each others modules or use each others toilet.
Brian Cox appears to be the obvious choice but I prefer someone like Dermot. This is the sort of programme that could get too scientific and technical and I want someone to ask the sort of questions that mist of us want to know. He is likeable and obviously really enjoying it so leave him alone all you Dermot haters.
i don't understand the need for dermot or why the need for the live segments
They are selling it on the LIVE angle to lead up to the LIVE lap of the earth by the ISS on Sunday.
Having said that, channel have never shown anything LIVE for decades. They were past masters at the legal loophole that if a show starts transmitting whilst it is still recording, they can call it LIVE. They have lot's of practise with Big Brother which always had a 15 - 30 delay loop on it but still sold as LIVE.

How incredibly patronising.
All the stuff about the space station and shuttle and astronauts in general is usually about those up in space rather than those on the ground.
Nice to see that for a change. Seeing the astronaut watching his son play hockey was awesome.
Still, beyond me!
Love that hair Suni.
Good stuff.

Well yes! Some are up there for months.
Huston, we have a problem!
I think this is the one that contains the full footage of 911 from space.
Bring on James May
its his jet pack
Errrrrm WATER!
I was getting really excited then about the water.
Then it goes back to Dermot and the blokes there ! I thought it was LIVE??
I guess it makes it real and shows a connection between what we can identify with
having satd that Dermot's script following and repetitive say what we've seen is excrutiating
...at least it's not Richard Hammond

I don't think much of his sob story: Water in helmet doesn't trump dead dad by a long shot.
