I Measured the Skies is a 75-minute TV biography of Johann Kepler produced by Mark Shivas[1] or John Glenister,[2] written by James Brabazon, adapted from Arthur Koestler's The Sleepwalkers[3] and first broadcast on 4 November 1970[4].
It is also listed in Briscoe's document Radiophonic Workshop Television and Radio Commitments for 1970.[5]
The title of the episode is taken from Kepler's epitaph:[6]
I measured the skies, now the shadows I measure,
Sky-bound was the mind, earth-bound the body rests.
Delia created the piece Music of Spheres for this programme.
