'Wonders Of The Solar System' - Anybody Else Enjoying This Series?

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

Another big win for the Beeb methinks.

Some riveting actual footage of a landing on Titan tonight (BBC 7pm), and hard to fault the enthusiasm of weird man-boy Brian Cox who looks like alarmingly he should be in a boy band but is in fact in his forties. Roams the earth like David Attenborough or 'Brilliant!!!' out of The Fast Show, picking up remains of meteorites or digging into glaciers.

Well worthy of a watch on the iPlayer. IMHO, like.

Loving it indeed although I wouldn't say he looks like he is from a boy band. I would say that the series is brilliant because he is a geek, a geek that is really excited by science and you cannot help be enthused by his passion and excitement.

How many episodes have been on now?

Am planning to watch on iplayer. Just watching Tropic of Cancer from Sunday first

 

[Pantani]

I couldn't watch it. He kept saying Sa-Turn and it weirded me out. Maybe I should try and get over that.

BBC at its best, and Coxys explanations are very easy to understand. I think he has one of the best jobs there is.
His explanation of the Hadron Collider last year was spot on.

Now this is very good, especially mini Gaddafi yesterday.

I take it you'll have the sound turned down for the Ur-Anus episode then?

I have no problem with boy band lookalikes talking about my anus

Really enjoying it, the presenter is great, although as said above he does weird me out with some of his mannerisms.

Funny you should mention the boy band thing, as Brian Cox played keyboards for D:Ream (as in "Things can only get better") before he was a Prof.

He is a top bloke. Someone who's really excited about knowledge and understanding things. He makes science seem about 100x more exciting than religion.

My wife thinks I have a case of man-love / bromance for Professor Cox. She doesn't like him because he's called Brian, as far as I can tell.

Now that is a brilliant bit of knowledge. You are not alone, I have a man crush on him too (not in terms of appearance by the way but he just seems like such a top, top fella)

 

[jordanseagull]

Yep, every Sunday at 9PM. Always look forward to it.

 

[auschr]

yep watching it and loving it really amazing

 

[Barrel of Fun]

It is extremely good, but his voice drives me round the bend. I would quite happily throw a bit of rock, 20 km/second, at him after a while.

 

[Rambo]

Another great effort from the BBC, makes the licence fee that more bearable.

yeah great series, watched the Titan thing Live when the pictures first beamed back to earth (plus the rover landings in Mars) and its great to relive that all again...I just bloody love Space Exploration Documentaries and stuff like that.
