Here’s a classic quote from the Great Man:

Sir Patrick said: “I was in hospital once and I watched a whole episode of EastEnders. I suppose it’s true to life. But so is diarrhoea – and I don’t want to see that on television.”

LOL

Patrick Moore is my new god!

Although chances are he’s not long for this earth and they’ll soon get someone else to present ‘The Sky at Night’:

Davina McCall: Hello and welcome to *pauses for no reason* THE SKY AT NIGHT! (Some of the camera men and researchers off screen cheer and clap). Right then don’t turn over because tonight we’re talking about stars, no not me but ‘stars in space’ (says ‘stars in space’ like ‘pigs in space’ from the muppets) and also Uranus *mugs at camera*.

Davina flips through her papers, puts her hand to her earpone and hurries over to a colourful sofa where three skanky looking girls are sitting.

Davina McCall: OH MY GOD! It’s the Sugarbabes! (Cameramen and crew cheer and clap as the girls wave to someone off camera).

Davina McCall: It is so utterly brilliant to have you one the show! Now I hear you’re all fans of space. All space or just a tiny, tiny, weeny bit of space *Davina speaks in an annoying hi pitched voice*.

Sugar Babes: *They glance at each other as if taking a quick consensus* We pretty much like all space, you know. The moon, space, the stars that planet in Star Trek where Han Solo comes from…

That’s
