So, the grand old fella is no longer with us.
A proper legend - in fact, the man was an institution and his knowledge was phenomenal.
The Sky at Night won't be the same again.
RIP.

RIP. Despite his legendary and quite dotty misogyny, I loved watching the Sky at Night. His knowledge was simply stunning.0

I'm pretty sure it was Moore that I can remember my mum helping me write a letter to as a young boy; I got a reply with lots of stuff about the solar system in it.
Despite being really quite young I used to really love him whenever he was on TV. I was wondering the other day if he played a part in my interest in the sciences.
Truly a great loss. RIP Sir Moore; may you admire the stars from above.0 -
Absolute legend. RIP0

Until recently I thought he had probably died years ago. Then The Sky at Night came on and there he was - still there. It actually made me feel good to know that the old boy was still going.
One of the great characters of TV when I was growing up.

Another influence from childhood gone.
Very few left now.
RIP Patrick. You were brilliant yet eccentric in the best sense of the word.
The world is a poorer place.0 -
The BBC is currently reviewing the future of the Sky at Night beyond the end of the year, amid rumours that they are considering axing it (e.g. telegraph.co.uk/culture/tvandradio/10329846/The-Sky-At-Night-faces-the-axe-one-year-after-Sir-Patrick-Moores-death.html).
If you would like to urge the BBC not to trash one of the best remaining examples of intelligent tv, there is a petition at change.org/petitions/the-bbc-please-do-not-axe-the-sky-at-night. Thank you!0 -

Well its a sad fact that if no-one is watching then it can get replaced by something cheaper/more likely to be watched.
It's not really the BBC's fault if no-one is tuning in to watch it.0 -
No, he just stated a fact that the UK is being over run with parasites.Absurdistan said:
