There's a somewhat querky programme on UK TV at the moment, on channel 38/quest - Moonwalk 1, the narrative is a bit gushy and inaccurate (" NASA footage never seen before"..err, yes it has..) but nevertheless there's some interesting stuff .

Oh, 45 years ago tonight I was at home listening to something like this via the black and white TV,
The First Men on the Moon: The Apollo 11 Lunar Landing

and looking at the cartoon LM graphics provided by James Burke et al... later, having had nap I was eventually woken up at oh dark thirty to see the first step ( my Dad, bless him, fell asleep in the armchair and missed the whole Moonwalk....).
