Thank you Professor Brian Cox for another lucid, illuminating series.
I wish there were more like you.

There have been plenty of threads about Brian Cox on here, even a few specific to the series' he has been involved in.

I'm assuming he was on TV last night, my Mum came in to tell me "there is a program on the TV about stars" to which I replied "Is the presenter British?". Mum proceeded to look at me strangely when I admitted how absolutely dreamy Brian Cox was. I'm surprised she didn't really agree :P

Hi,

He certainly gets to visit some good locations. Last night he was at the Victoria Falls (just to photgraph a rainbow in the spray !!), the Namib Desert, and the Canadian Rockies.

He ought to consider doing a travel series next, and throwing in a bit of cosmology here and there.

In the Namib Desert he pulled out a portable radio and played some music. I immediately wondered if it was his own band playing, but wasn't fast enough to hit record and check it out.

Cheers

Yes a great series (didn't see evry episode though).

I am sure the cosmological models and astronomical discoveries presented throughout the show were lapped up enthusiatically by everyone...what's bazzar though is that Brian is a fellow of the Royal Scociety so his president was hosting a show on SBS at the same time lamenting and investigating the route causes of the attacks on science over the evidence on human induced climate change...how ironic.
