Blast on BBC 4

Last month’s blog posts included a review of a film called BLAST, which follows a group of scientists working on the Balloon-Borne Large Aperture Submillimeter Telescope as they struggle to get their project off the ground (literally).

This week UK viewers can watch BLAST from the comfort of their living rooms: BBC 4 is showing the film as part of its Storyville documentary series at 10 pm on Wednesday 7 January. For truly dedicated (or truly sleepless) viewers, there will also be a repeat at 01:50 on 8 January.

The programme can also be viewed via the Internet using BBC’s iPlayer (available to UK-based computers until 14 January).
