Message I'm sure from your description that it was the same one we saw here in the states, just with a different narration track. The thing that bothered me about that one was after emphasizing that O'Neill's vision hasn't come to pass (yet), they moved on to what they termed "a new idea": terraforming. Nope, going to live on Mars isn't the new idea, it was the old idea which O'Neill's new idea surpassed. All Zubrin has done is revived interest in the older idea.

FAO: UK members with satelite TV - there's a show called "space colonies" on discovery science at 2.pm and 7pm GMT today. havn't seen it, so can't comment on if its any good.... enjoy;) If anybody on the list happens to catch this, let us know if this is the one narrated by Avery Brooks, or if it's a new one.
Thanks andRegards,
