This looks interesting. A comedy lecture. Well see how it goes.

Oh, well. I gave it a chance.

Usually if Brian Cox is on something you can be sure it will be decent.......but this ? No.

They are mixing things i love ( science, physics, the Universe ) with things i absolutely hate, Musicals and Panto. It's not a good combination either, it's terrible.

It might be funny as a single sketch in a general comedy show but this is terribly weak to stretch over an hour.

I suppose the point of this show, is to use the sketches to make the science more digestible to laymen.

That being the case, why isnt this on bbc one????

Is this the BBC's attempt to get people interested in Physics ? It feels like more of an insult to our intelligence.

I'm not entirely sure what the point of it is. It's too simple for people interested in the science and too crap for people who aren't.

This is terrible, I don't get the point of it or who it's supposed to be aimed at. Most of the supposedly 'funny' parts aren't even funny!

No, I've no idea who the target audience might be. I was just wondering.

Not seen it yet.

But Eric is a genius and I really like Brian - despite all the derogatory remarks he gets.

So their big finale is this song? A song thirty plus years old that Idle's been recycling at every opportunity since?

I'm a fan of Brian Cox too, but this is just terrible. You can see that he is out of his comfort zone doing this. Brian is better just sticking to science.

Absolutely loving this - it's funny, and while it's just pop-science, it's done well.

A bit different to Brian Cox's usual physics show but hey ho, onto the panto we go!

Weird but hilarious.

Stop moaning people its just a bit of fun.

They've just added a few bits of comedy and sing-song to liven it up about rather than just the usual one hour boring non-stop physics lesson.

Loved the mix comedy and science. Perhaps every Cox lecture will be like this now?

More like the comedy is being spoilt by Cox's monotonous drivvle...
