For those in the US, the PBS science series "Nova" is running "Lost at Sea: the Search for Longitude" this week. This is a re-run. It was originally produced following the amazing success of Sobel's "Longitude". If you haven't seen it, it will be shown several times this week in most markets. The "prime time" slot for Nova is tonight at 8pm in most places, but it repeats several times later in the week.
Here's an overview of the program:
