First broadcast on FAB RADIO INTERNATIONAL at 19:00 on March 28th 2021

ANDREW TROWBRIDGE from the ROUND THE ARCHIVES podcast returns to VISION ON SOUND to talk about SCIENCE PROGRAMMES ON TV in a wide-ranging nostalgic conversation which ranges from THE OPEN UNIVERSITY, via HITCH HIKER'S GUIDE, to programmes like COSMOS, TOMORROW'S WORLD, THE COMPUTER PROGRAMME, MAKING THE MOST OF THE MICRO, LIFE ON EARTH, CONNECTIONS, and THE GREAT EGG RACE.

We talk about the various eccentric presenters like MAGNUS PYKE, PATRICK MOORE, CARL SAGAN, ARTHUR C CLARKE and JAMES BURKE, whilst heading off on tangents that include MULTI-COLOURED SWAP SHOP, TOP OF THE POPS, the APOLLO COVERAGE, ZX81 computers, and playing Pong on a black & white television set.
