  • Wonders of the Solar System

    A must see surely!?

    Anyone familiar with Professor Brian Cox will be watching.

    He is the most engaging, enthusiastic and coolest scientist I think I've ever seen. Fascinating to listen to and explains things in such a way that you can't help but find yourself wanting to know more - even though what he is talking about is leagues above my understanding.

    A brilliant mind, and such a great educator. If I had a teacher like him at school I'd be intelligent by now.

    I know I'll be tuning in - will you?

    Yep recognise him now as a chap I watched a while back explaining physics blurb, struck me how young he seemed yet with massive knowledge with a seriously good knack of explaining what he's taliking about. Missed the one on Sunday though

      Sounds interesting, but I don't think I could take a Professor seriously who doesn't have grey hair and at least some sort of attempt at a beard.

          He has a beard, he just choses to shave it off - and in certain lights you see a twinkling of grey hair.

          I promise you'll love it dude - he is just brilliant.

          Youtube him, I'm sure there will be some footage of him somewhere.

            He was very good on "Something for the Weekend" last Sunday morning. Have already put "Wonders" in the planner to be recorded. Did you know he used to be in the group "D-Ream" of "things can only get better" fame? Going from that to CERN must be a bit of a contrast.

              He can also be heard on 6 Music regularly.

                  I'll no doubt get it off of the iPlayer the day after.

                  couldn't he at least grow a moustache? Just for me

                      Well, I thoroughly enjoyed it - even stayed up past my bedtime to watch it.

                      Mind boggling.

                          He was in D-ream. There's obviously more to him than that.

                          I remember watching him do a similarly interesting show early last year...or , it could have been the year before.

                          Incidentally, he's 42 years old. Not such a whipper-snapper really.

                            Fascinating, I've kept it on Sky+ so I can watch it again.
