Forget about mobile, forget about HD, forget so-called 3DTV. Three of Monkey's favourite shows – Look Around You, Fifteen Storeys High and Snuff Box – have been seen on the Moon. Well, not the Moon, but Duncan Jones's Bafta-winning sci-fi flick, Moon. You would have to be more than eagle-eyed – frankly, you should be given an award – to spot the various TV "entertainment" choices available to Sam Bell on the Sarang lunar base. The film's concept designer and VFX supervisor, Gavin Rothery, has revealed all behind the choices on his blog. Some of them were to do with the film's casting, you may not need reminding. Rather less obvious was the show inspired by the quiz machine in the Phoenix Bar in London's Charing Cross Road.
