Sunday 6th March BBC 2.
Loved the last series, the way this guy presents the information makes what a lot of people would find dull into a fasinating insight of life on earth and beyond.
Not your run of the mill boffin, check out his past, ex musician, played in the band D Ream, turned partical physicist.
OR
You could watch errr?

I heard him promoting it on the Chris Evans show the other morning. He made it all seem quite sexy - the opposite of how physics felt when I was at school! I also read somewhere that he is attributed to a rise in the last few years of children taking physics at school, and then going on to study it at University. Well needed - a head teacher friend of mine was recently bemoaning the fact that they couldn't get physics teachers for love nor money and things were getting desperate.

He's co-authored the book that I'm just about to start.(As discussed in the "reading" thread a few weeks ago)

Holly - I won't fight you for him. LOL! But actually, no need, Elle - he's gorgeous in a 'can't stop smiling while I'm watching you smiling' kinda way - but I haven't named him in the 'Which famous person...' thread because - nope, wouldn't like to (you know, be stranded on a desert island with him, or anything like that - drunk or otherwise). I imagine he would, however, be a fabulous partner for discussions of Cartesian Dualism |

must admit this didnt interest me , nor di dthe show he did with Dar Obrien about the night sky , from Jodrell Bank , but i was hooked on that after the first programme , it was live thing and the good thing about it was they were down the road from were i live , so when they pointed out such and such star/constellation i could make it out straight away without having to spend ages looking for the( did that sat in a deckchair in the maldives drinking a cold beer , me and the ex wife were there for ages looking at the sky LOL)

Watched the first ep of this last night and actually didn't enjoy it as much as Wonders of the Solar System. Solid, but not outstanding. But then the discussion of the law of entropy is never gonna be sexy. Interesting, maybe a little depressing, but far from sexy.

Nice Steve, nice.
Holly, if Mr Hawking can find the sexiness in the finite nature of the universe and the end of all matter, fair play to him. I struggled!
Don't get me wrong, an program of epic scale, but I felt more awe-inspired by Wonders of the Solar System, or Brian's Horizon ep.

I'm afraid I find him intensely itrritating, he seems smarmy and deeply in love with himself.

Ah, John - but he is very smiley (although not so much these days - perhaps all the explaining of entropy is getting to him). And he is very intelligent - which some find attractive in a person... Anyway - I think Russell Brand is smarmy - but he and Brian are not particularly similar are they? I guess one man's smarmy is another woman's attractive (but still not in that way - no, no, no). Actually, I just realised that applies also to me and Elle - her sexy Rusell is my smarmy Russell |
