Yesterday (sunday) I saw the first part of the new BBC serie "The story of measurement" on BBC4. In it was a horizontal sundial of questionabvle design. The style foot was situated on the XII mark and the shadow was crossing many hourlines. I can't imagine that BBC didn't do any serious research and used a fancy sundial and even didn't notice that the shadows weren't matching the hourlines.
Or did my TV having troubles? You never know in this digital era.
