...and therefore to encourage the DCs to watch his programmes because, after all, they are educational?

Agreed! He's lovely ^^

squoosh · 29/07/2015 10:29

What is it you like the most? The perma-smile that says 'I am a deeply creepy person'.

NoSOHisadealbreaker · 29/07/2015 10:29

YANBU to think it....and he clearly agrees with you, but I'm afraid I don't Grin.

SomewhereIBelong · 29/07/2015 10:30

the physicist or the actor - cos' one of them is not what you'd call ermmmmmmm gorgeous......

NoSOHisadealbreaker · 29/07/2015 10:31

...unless of course you mean Brian Cox the Scottish actor who is truly admirable imho

Squoosh Couldn't have put it better myself!

NoSOHisadealbreaker · 29/07/2015 10:32

Waves to Somewhere though we may not be on precisely the same page!

I used to encourage my DS to watch deadly sixty for Steve Backshall related reasons.

CherryBonBon · 29/07/2015 10:33

Yes, particularly hot in Troy I thought.

IPlayBass · 29/07/2015 10:35

His wife is on here (if you mean the physicist).

NoSOHisadealbreaker · 29/07/2015 10:39

No offence...I doubt you would much fancy my DH either (although he is a great fan of yours!)

NoSOHisadealbreaker · 29/07/2015 10:41

(although he is a great fan of yours!)

By this I mean he is a great fan of your DH. I am sure he would be a fan of you too!

SomewhereIBelong · 29/07/2015 10:45

no - not on that page at all.....

Gruntfuttock · 29/07/2015 11:05

He looks exactly like one of those old-fashioned ventriloquists' dummies. I keep expecting him to say "Gottle of geer" and "Gread and Gutter". Gorgeous is the last thing I would call him.

I mean that very caringly of course.

WitchofScots · 29/07/2015 11:14

The physicist, although in the light of morning without the benefit of a couple of glasses of wine he's looking somewhat different...Steve Backshall on the other hand.....

I can't watch his programs - I find them tedious because he takes so long to say anything. His subjects I find interesting - just his particular programs send me to sleep ! I have pondered whether that is his style or down to the producer/director.

Really? He looks like Pete Burns.

My mum fancies him too. Would you like her number so you can discuss him?

TheyGotTheMustardOut · 29/07/2015 11:28

I used to fancy him, then I followed him on Twitter, now, not so much.

WitchofScots · 29/07/2015 11:28

Pete Burns?! I saw him on a 1980s programme the other night, what on earth has he done to his lips? Far too much of whatever he's had done to them. He was a bit of alright in the 80s but not now...

Grin yes yes Gruntfottock

thecatsarecrazy · 29/07/2015 11:35

Haha Pete burns so true!

Toooldtobearsed · 29/07/2015 11:36

Nope. He has a smirky face that gets my hand twitching.

He is all yours!

squoosh · 29/07/2015 11:45

Yes. Always smirking in a 'I brought physics to the masses don't you know' kind of way or 'The Radio Times said I'm the thinking woman's Johnny Depp'.

Smuggy McSmuggerson.

KingJoffreyLikesJaffaCakes · 29/07/2015 11:50

Nah. Leonard and Sheldon brought physics to the masses...

Gruntfuttock · 29/07/2015 11:51

Bazinga!
