    The BBC is making a film about Colin Pillinger and the Beagle 2 mission to Mars.

    Could be released in 2027.

    Thanks Bill. I look forward to that. Should be good with Mackenzie Crook as director and Toby Jones in the main role.

    I took this photo of a blue plaque that celebrates his, and other members of the chemistry department at my Alma mater, analysis of lunar samples.

    That’s great, he was a very good presenter and became quite a personality with promoting the Beagle 2 Mars lander mission. I have my signed copy of his book ‘Beagle – From sailing ship to Mars spacecraft’.

    Alex.
