Patrick Moore
An interview with an esteemed astronomer and national treasure
Presenter of 'The Sky at Night' since the 1950s, prolific author and composer, yet still working on a typewriter that is 92 years old, Patrick Moore displays an indomitable thirst for knowledge.
"Every problem you solve opens a whole host of new ones", he laughs. A world figure in a small town, a steady stream of star-struck visitors are cheerfully offered lunch and tours of his telescopes. Out-spoken and eccentric, but a national treasure.
