    For how many consecutive months did Patrick Moore present BBC TV's "The Sky At Night" and who was the new presenter I saw on it last month?

    Question #49402. Asked by gmackematix. (Jul 13 04 11:40 PM)

    		Still looking for the actual number of months and the name of the temporary replacement. TV astronomer Sir Patrick Moore missed presenting his Sky At Night programme for the first time in 47 years - after being struck by food poisoning.
    Sir Patrick, 81, who has presented the BBC show since 1957, suspected he became ill after eating a duck egg

    I think it is about 567 months in total as the first was broadcast in April 1957. I cannot find out who presented the latest but you should be able to watch the programme again, later this month, on http://www.bbc.co.uk/science/space/spaceguide/skyatnight/proginfo.shtml
