Was a great episode, very clever panel all round.
Prof Brian Cox has a passion for science that is contagious & he has a great manner to get points across to anyone, including children - our next generation of scientists. He has the essential sense of wonder, the modern day Carl Sagan.
It almost got derailed when compare Tony Jones went all glass-eyed & mystic mentioning to Brian Cox some people think the gods did everything.
The strangest letdown is the Twitter feed banner at bottom of screen that enables the ignorant idiot factor to creep through. The ABC must be liking this to get their ratings. This idea that anyone's (including the uniformed/over-opinionated) say is valid is a retrograde step for true knowledge. I was almost expecting a tweet there from Trump.
