Brian Cox on TV

[Tinker1947]

Sunday Night at 9pm, "A Night With the Stars", I know nothing of the content...

[mallorcasaint]

Professor Brian Cox takes a celebrity audience through the most challenging concepts in physics from the lecture theatre of the Royal Institution of Great Britain. With the help of fellow scientist Jim Al-Khalili and guests Simon Pegg, Sarah Millican, James May and Jonathan Ross, he shows how diamonds are made up of nothingness, and how one such precious gem in the heart of London is in communication with the largest diamond in the cosmos. He also reveals how things can be in two places at once and why everything that people can see and touch in the universe actually exists

"space is like, really really big"

I find BC delivery style annoying and patronising personally.... One to miss for me at least. Much prefer Sky at Night and Sir PM.

Ah, the BBC - Home for "wayward boys and girls"... Unemployed chat show hosts, panel game participants,

"alternative" comedians, burgeoning science publicists etc. etc. [just teasing]

Revenge of the nerds!

I wish I could get away with that.

...and you've even got the cricket on!

[Nova]

Looking forward to this. For me Brian Cox is a breath of fresh air in a subject that has never really interested me until I saw his wonders series. I think Brian and a few others (Al-Khalili included) have started to make science interesting again and are opening it up to a whole new audience

[Woking]

Tinker1947, respect to you for having the cricket on.

Wow. That's hilarious. 6 PCs ? What on earth do you do with all that stuff?

[LukeSkywatcher]

Watch the cricket apparently.

WOW............i am in awe of your central command.

[col]

Now thats what you call a hobby room.

Also I like Brian cox and his easy to understand way, looking forward to his second live series in January

[nicnac]

i like the registration plate in the back

BBC Two - A Night with the Stars

Oh dear. Looks dreadful. The word 'stars' doesn't mean massive sun like objects that shine throughout the universe but rather 'celebrities' like Jonathon Ross etc.

It saddens me that there is a perceived need to use celebrities as bait to draw people into amazing subjects like physics and astronomy.

I quite like Brian Cox and Jim Al-Khalili's stuff has been excellent but unless the clip shown is seriously misleading I can't get too excited about this.

Great song - but, do you remember the B side....

"there is a man that sits in the corner of my room, no one else sees him - when I tell them there is a man that sits in the corner of my room - they beat me! - We beat him"

Sorry, bit off topic here

[nicnac]

i think wossy and the like could be a good move, JR is very popular and witty (very funny with it too) i think the program would appeal to more folk due to the people joining in

[Ouzodan]

Eve online? I applaud you good sir
