are we ready for an Anti DOCTOR Brian Fucking Cox backlash?

[SpringHeeledJack]

yes, I know he was a pop 'star'. And he's dead clever. But then the same applies to Brian May, and he's not all over the BBC like norovirus

[meh]

I love him, YADBU

right, I shall put you down as a "no" then

any more?

Was he a pop star? What in? < rushes to google>

To myself I call him Brian Botox as his face seems to be stuck in that smile.

Yes. I also love Ben Goldacre . Why you no likey?

Can't stick him myself. He makes me cringe. So that'll be a Yes from me.

Have googled. Oh I SEE. < shrug >

I'm a 'no' too - he's just like my husband's best friend, so we always grin when we see him...from his doctorate in Physics to his fulsome lips!!

BBBBBIIIIIIIIIIIBBBBBBBB!

how the hell are you?

where've you been?

I prefer him on the radio as then you can't see his age-inappropriate T shirts.

So which scientist would you like to see all over the BBC? (popstar status optional)

Catrinm- it just seems as though every time I turn on the radio- 4 or 6- there he is

How dare you criticise PROFESSOR Brian Cox!!!!!!!!!

Grimma oh I don't know. I haven't really thought it through. Just some different ones, I suppose

....or even none? just lots of cartoons and pop music and that

If Brian May was presenting we wouldn't be able to see the solar system as his hair would get in the way.

oh gosh sorry!

I genuinely didn't realise he was a Prof. Now I feel quite bad

of course I meant PROFESSOR Brian Fucking Cox

I've only heard him on the radio. Apparently he's (shock, horror) a good-looking scientist but that's rather lost through that medium :)

I liked his RTS lecture that was on TV the other night.
I Sky plussed it - might even watch it twice.

I think they should use real scientists/historians and other experts on telly, not cute ones- ie man ones with egg on their ties, women ones peering through their specs, and all absent minded and a bit spitty...

I thought you meant this Brian Cox and wondered what on earth you were on about! Showing my age there!

...oh fuck. I probably mean Patrick Moore, don't I

oh I thought it was that Brian Cox for some time, scallops- got a bit confused for a few months back there....

Lovely mouth.

He gets on my last nerve! His constant smile grates - no one can be that happy all the time. Dh likes him and finds him interesting - probably cos he's a physicist too!

My DH watched The Wonders of The Solar System this weekend - HD boxed set. He claims he finds Cox irritating and only watches for the science.

maybe tis a rictus grin thing like Tony Blair and he can't help it

mind you I would probably be quite happy myself if I was on the telly and radio all the time, I was dead brainy and everyone (well, nearly) thought I was fit

Would rather watch / listen to him than be subjected to lots of the crap on TV. We love him...clever and beautiful (but then I also adore Steven Fry)
