As an antidote to the rather poor new moon documentary fronted by James May, you could do a lot worse than check out the extensive BBC Moon Landings Archive now online.
There’s a host of archive video material that offers unique insight into how the space program was covered on TV between 1969 and 1972, with a few other later moon-oriented documentaries. They range from three minutes (a Today programme radio extract from 1971) to almost two hours (the superb Apollo 11: A Night to Remember from 2006 and rebroadcast on BBC4 last Sunday).
There’s hours of fascinating material here to be explored.
