Blush

Yes I am that thick. There's another one Blush and he's old and doesn't play keyboards.

Are you sure he's the one on the right? I think he's the other keyboardist. The one in the blue shirt who isn't really seen much.

FrillyMilly · 12/02/2013 21:26

Isn't Harry hill also a doctor?

Brian May got called Dr May when he was on Stargazing; Live on BBC two, by, wait for it, Professor Brian Cox Grin

Dear Op, I can tell you that his very lovely wife has read the thread. She calls him Dr Cox cos it sounds all pervy. She's got a really nice sense of humour as well.

the stripey one with the hair flick does look like him, frilly (Blush on his behalf)

& Harry Hill is - well, used to be - an actual medical doctor

aftermay · 12/02/2013 21:30

Brian May from Queen is the guy off Top Gear?

freddiemisagreatshag · 12/02/2013 21:30

Tigga - Blush you ARE joking, right?

actor Brian Cox was the original Dr Hannibal Lector in Manhunter - which is based on the Red Dragon book. Ace film.

Harry Hill is a doctor

TunipTheVegedude · 12/02/2013 21:31

Hmm @ that photo.

You might not agree with Brian May's politics but at least he has been loyal to his hairdo.

Ponders · 12/02/2013 21:31

that's James May, after (are you joking...???)

HolidayArmadillo · 12/02/2013 21:31

Harry Hill IS a Dr. And is still registered with the GMC according to Wiki.

Hank Wangford is a gynae. Fact.

weegiemum · 12/02/2013 21:31

Harry Hill is a medical doctor.
Dara O'Brien was a physicist but never got as far as being Dr.

WireCatWhore · 12/02/2013 21:32

I have been reading the convo between Tigga & mrs cox!

dawntigga · 12/02/2013 21:32

I think she's going to come and answer for herself.

LostInWales · 12/02/2013 21:33

And Dara O'Briain has a degree in maths and particle physics from Dublin but is only Mr O'Briain. I saw Proff Cox on the infinite Monkey Cage tour a couple of years ago and once you get over the 'OMG, that's him off of the telly' he is an amazing, inspirational lecturer on space/big bang and all that. (I luffs him, I really do, clever men are so, so sexy)

freddiemisagreatshag · 12/02/2013 21:33

Oh fuck.

Is she going to kill me and eat my guts for breakfast?

How do you Nominate threads for Classics? :)

dawntigga · 12/02/2013 21:35

No, she's lovely and gives him a much harder time than any of us. You should read the stuff she writes she's awesome! I followed her on Twitter way before I followed the very lucky man who married her Wink

I remember Mrs Prof BC being featured in various publications when he became flavour of the month

I think she is a physicist (or something?) too but has got used to being sidelined

aftermay · 12/02/2013 21:35

Ponders - you're right, I just got confused in all of this.

Is Lady Gaga nor a lady? How about Dr Avalanche (Sisters of Mercy)?

soaccidentprone · 12/02/2013 21:36

so none of you watched this?
