The annoying programme about the possibility of other life in space also, inevitable, contained music from Jeff Wayne's Musical Version of War of the Worlds and Duran Duran's This is Planet Earth, how did they ever think of those? This inspired me to listen to War of the Worlds again this morning and it is still a great as ever. I give you WotW related links:
