Having read the fascinating book by Dava Sobel, this TV movie is a gem.
I wish there were more like it.

Aye, it's pretty good. Cool

There's a campaign afoot to clear up the misconceptions the book and TV proggie gave about Nevil Maskelyne.

Could have knocked a few years off Harrison's long wait if it hadn't been for Nevil and his cohorts.
Enjoyed it immensely!
