The Planets: Dr Brian Cox

Just watched episode 1 (of five) covering the formation of the terrestrial planets.

Nice stuff.

If you hadn't clocked the series it's on BBC2 and available on IPlayer.

I posted on another thread how it becomes confusing when he brings out his jelly beans and such, as a jape, but I have a great deal of respect for Prof Brian Cox and if I see his name on many shows I've seen or new ones I always make a point watching it.

When does he do any work at Manchester University where he's a professor? He's never off television and radio, and now is doing big live tours. Afraid I can't stand his voice and simpering delivery.

[Arksided]

He keeps it simple for us thickies, reminds me of Johnny Ball back in the day.

Yes, I agree with yoiu, Arksided, he presents the information clearly and well. As well as the exposition his commentary (script, if you will) was, in my opinion, excellent.

[Mamyalynne]

It was very watchable and informative.

[Arksided]

Even Mamya followed it ;-)

The recording of which, of course, he played no part in!

[Butterbun]

I follow it as well, very informative. OH sleeps through it all.

//"Things can only get better!"//

We need a proper context for other obvious comments like "How Dare you" and "D:ream on".

Did anyone else feel that they'd like an on-screen symbol to distinguish real pictures from computer-generated? I'd like wildlife documentaries to have another symbol to show when the footage was faster or slower than the original.
