No. It's not ironic, just annoying. (ref Alanis Morrisette). Maybe he would have been in it sooner
if they'd just asked him sooner.

Anyone have even the vaguest idea when this episode will be broadcast on terrestrial UK TV? Space
year 2010?

In other TV related news; there was an excelent documentry about the Nazi's plans to nuke New York
on Channel 4 here this evening. Lots of interesting details about Von Braun in it, most of which I
knew before but which still lead me to question when people in general knew about the use of slaves
to manufacture the V2 after the allies bombed the above ground manufacturing plants. When was that
common knowledge?
