Planet Earth

April 3rd, 2006 · Comments Off on Planet Earth · Life

I missed the last Planet Earth programme on Sunday, sickness driving me to bed long before it came on, so I’ll have to remember to catch the repeat on Saturday. After all the publicity, it all seemed to be over very quickly. If the first law of show business is to always leave the audience […]
