Wonders of the Solar System TV Show

[Elessarina]

With Professor Brian Cox.

Did anyone watch this? It was truly amazing and with some misty-eyed moments.

UK folk can watch it here, of course if you can set up a UK proxy server then anyone can..

It was okay.

I much preferred Universe.

[AshtonBlack]

It was pretty good. His enthusiasm is contagious.

I much preferred Universe.

It started off good but then it started catering to popular "science" and there was a lot of bullshit episodes about life on other planets.

Or there's a torrent available.

Ditto.

Hit-and-miss, as Ani has said. Some of it good, some not so.

It has to be said (though some may disagree) that if I had to fuck a man, Brian Cox would probably do the job.

I thought is was excellent, despite knowing most, though not all, of the content. I loved the bit when he was talking abut the energy output of the sun. He used a bucket of water to illustrate the temperature difference of a litre of water in and out of the shade and then multiplied it up to the scale of a sphere around the sun at his position. It was really well done. The he said - and I loved this.

'That's why I love physics'. It turned a 'cold' calculation into somethign emotional and almost touching.
