"Rise and Fall of Concorde" on Ch 7 Tonight (MEL) at 8:30pm (12Aug10)

[serfty]

As above:

From the moment that it hit the skies in 1969, until a catastrophic accident just outside Paris on July 25th 2000, the supersonic Concorde was an icon. Witness the rise and fall of Concorde through the people who knew the aircraft best. How did a design dream turn into an engineering nightmare?

Watch The Rise and Fall of Concorde: Thursday

Might be interesting ...

Thanks. Hopefully it'll be on their catch up TV website.

One minor thing, for the producers, Concorde remains an icon for me even after July 2000

Note, that's Melbourne 20:30. SYD and BNE have it on at 21:30

Check local guides.

After just visiting the Test Concorde at the imperial war museum at Duxford UK, I'm still in love with the Concorde. For its time it had a great impact good and bad on the world.

I will try and catch it, the very similar accident in 79 should get a mention, that aircraft ironically performed the final flight for AF.

 

[Grooba]

Yup 2130 tonight in SYD, been loking forward to this one for a while.

 

[kamchatsky]

Also look forward to it!

Set a reminder, and to record

this is when the MyTivo remote scheduling of recording comes in handy

Ahh yes! ice tv for me. Just hope mini still realises it's connected to the network.

I saw this on UK TV a couple of weeks ago. It was interesting.

I could do the same with Foxtel, but the TV was a few feet away, so I just walked

Good idea NM.

I'll set it up from here rather than going into the next room and using the remote :!:

Done.

The hardest part was deciding whether to record it in the lounge room or the bedroom :!:

Had to work on PhD last night, so didn't watch in order to concentrate.

I hope to be able to find this somewhere else.....

Watched it last night live. Really enjoyed it.
Was both moving, inspiring, and sad.
Only issue was all the ads Channel 7 screened through it.

I recorded it, but it’s on a Foxtel box so it’s likely it can’t be easily removed. You’ll have to come to the Gold Coast

They gave me time to run back to the study and check what was happening on AFF!

I TiVO'd it last night, so if you give me a couple of days I'll convert it and put it somewhere for download.


Cheers,
Mat.

Are you in Canada somewhere?

I hopefully recorded it on eyetv so I can have an mpeg ready later today.

Otherwise, there is the foxtel download service as well.
