Yes, Prime Minister – If the right people don’t have power…
On Christmas Eve 1968 three Americans became the first humans to visit another world. What they did to celebrate was unexpected and profound, and will be remembered throughout all human history. Genesis: the Story of Apollo 8, Robert Zimmerman's classic history of humanity's first journey to another world, tells that story, and it is now available as both an ebook and an audiobook, both with a foreword by Valerie Anders and a new introduction by Robert Zimmerman.
The ebook is available everywhere for $5.99 (before discount) at amazon, or direct from my ebook publisher, ebookit. If you buy it from ebookit you don't support the big tech companies and the author gets a bigger cut much sooner.
The audiobook is also available at all these vendors, and is also free with a 30-day trial membership to Audible.
"Not simply about one mission, [Genesis] is also the history of America's quest for the moon... Zimmerman has done a masterful job of tying disparate events together into a solid account of one of America's greatest human triumphs."--San Antonio Express-News
Laugh tracks?
I thought the BBC was more sophisticated than that.

I like a lot of BBC stuff.
That being said– it’s a huge propaganda machine and everyone in England has to buy a “TV license” which funds the BBC.
[“A TV Licence costs £157.50, £53 for black and white TV sets.”]
The BBC has always been the communications arm of the government, it’s like a giant perpetual Public Works Administration program, (or PBS on amphetamines with the power to tax their viewers.)
going tangential here–
After WW-2 the British imposed a foreign-film tax, of 1£ per foot of film exhibited. This was done to ostensibly support/rebuild their homegrown Studios and limit the reach of Hollywood into Britain. What it created, in part, was a lot of low-budget film (which is not inherently bad unto itself); American controlled exhibiters only featured British films if they cost less than the tax they would have to pay.
