Yes I watched it as well , an awsome way Brian gets his message across about the whole shindig , I was impressed as was my darling , .
Brian made it very easy to understand the nuts and bolts of the cosmos ,, . he is a natural teacher .

Nooooooooo

We girls love the way his wisps of hair delicately fall across his suntanned kissed sweet, adorable face.

As much as I like perving I mean watching Brian, I don't think he comes CLOSE to matching Carl.
Sometimes he gets things wrong.
Sometimes he doesn't explain himself well enough because he leaves stuff out.
But on the whole, he is a great presenter- looks aside.

He knows he's got a broad female audience and uses his looks to promote what his doing... yeah yeah go Brian... shake that hair, walk the walk boy ...

Oh and my gosh you should see his facebook page of thousands of adoring female fans, and boy he tweets a lot... sometimes too much I just don't want to know that he's sitting down for yet another thousandth curry meal.
Phil Phait (Bad Astronomy) tweeted so much I had to get rid of him.

Btw if anyone is interested, this is a particularly good lecture (one hour) by Brian at the Royal Institution, London, called "An evening with Brian Cox".
There's celebrities in the audience as well, including James May whom he gets to help him with an experiment that got a bit too hot for his liking.

He does various experiments and talks you through basic physics.
A very educational one hour!
