  Bet his wife leaves. I'm sure she wants to change the record.

  
  He isn't saying anything different than any other scientist says.

  So he is explaining something that involves large numbers. What else is he going to say "ooo lots and lots"..
  When he talks about making records he doesn't mention millions and trillions.
  And the Uranus joke is for 10 year olds.
  Try listening to what he is actually saying or if you don't want to turn over.

  I think he comes across as a nice enough chappy.

  He was on QI and it appeared a difficult job to get humour out of him. He just wanted to lecture! Perhaps he is the second coming?

  True but then he is not a comedian. They don't mind lectures from people that know what they are talking about on QI and he didn't mind if they took the piss.
  
  I don't think he is the second coming but if he was I would be OK with that.

  What? I'll never be able to hear that familiar phrase 'tossing Ewoks' without a reminiscent grin.

  I like him actually. I've got a couple of his books. Although I do have to read things a couple of times to understand the concepts.......it's a bit mind boggling for a patchworker.
  
  No, I just felt he took over a bit when the show is fun and facts, not just facts.

  Yes, yes, yes.
  
  The above is not for dramatic emphasis, it's because they won't allow me to put just 'Yes'.

  I know. Sometimes you just want to add a laugh or smile and can't.

  We need more people like Coxy on TV to halt the rise in anti-intellectualism.

  I was watching a program on iPlayer this week called 'Beyond The Speed of Light' which was presented by a Mathmatician. It was brilliant. just stuck to the science and facts and treated the audience with some intelligence. Unlike the stupid Brian Cox programmes - 'look at me, I'm windswept and interesting' while not really explaining much of anything at all. Much prefer the 'serious' academic who commands respect and does not play pretty boy. Don't get me wrong, of course Brian Cox is a serious academic but he does get on my nerves and I can't stand the lack of substance in his programmes. Would much rather have the science than pretty graphics. I know, his programs are aimed at a 'non science' audience.

  Wasn't bothered about him till he called people who believe in ghosts, 'nobbers'. Now I can't stand him.
