Hi Mark,
yep, I saw the RI Christmas lectures and thought Monica was on fine form.
I guess I've seen just about every lecture broadcast over the last 30-ish
years, and it's become something of a Christmas tradition here.
I recognised the NHM's Estherville, Imilac and Parnallee on the show.....they
are usually sitting outside Monica's office in Mineralogy. All three are
large, awesome meteorites.

For those that have never seen the shows, the annual Royal Institution
lectures are aimed at youngsters, and lean towards making science fun. There's
always lots of loud explosions during the demonstrations, and visual stuff to keep
the kids interested.
Great fun, even for us kids who are now in our 40's :-)

Cheers,
Rob.
