Synopsis
Gareth Jones, Patrick Moore and Heather Couper enjoy a light-hearted chat about all matters lunar, from eclipses and the Apollo missions to the concept of 'lunatics' and the best time in the lunar cycle to plant your carrots. Jones also speaks to Jim Lovell, who recalls spending Christmas 1968 on board Apollo 8.
