Wonders of the Universe

He's okay Coxie, as I like to call him, but until the waistband of his trousers is somewhere in the region of his upper chest like Sir Patrick Moore I can't take him that seriously as an astronomer.

I met Sir Patrick Moore on the Mersey ferry once. True story.

Queens Brian May is an astrophysicist,which is kinda cool, plus you can see his hair from space

he explains the stuff in a way that we stupid humans can understand the science yet be technical at the sametime the more advanced humans.

See what you mean.

Well as i thought turned out to be the only program worth watching(weekend tv is crap),i dont pretend to understand it all,but Brian Cox has a way of holding your interest,a master of his craft.

A charismatic, informative presenter and beautiful cinematography make it a top notch series for me. I understand that for some it would not be their cup of tea though. Maybe you have to be a dreamer

I once explained to a friend, how the gold their ring was made from, formed during a massive stellar explosion billions of years ago and you could gradually see her loosing the will to live So I try and keep my cosmic rants to a minimum now.

It was more of a travel program from Brian Cox, than a science documentary

Astronomy, something else that gives you a sore neck

That's my gripe. Not only does it look like a very wealthy professor is getting to travel the world at the tax payers expense he also likes to subtly push his own personal believes on people in the disguise of science, which I loath.
