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

Aww he is just lovely, well done Mrs Brian Cox (cheesy thumbs up), is he as nice as he seems on the telly?

ElkeDagMeisje · 29/07/2015 12:26

He is a good looking man. You don't have to fancy him, but theres nothing "creepy" about him, and he is a good presenter.

From the comments on here, I'm actually wondering whether some people are conditioned to prefer seriously ugly men. e.g. if a man isn't fat, saggy, jowly, wrinkled, has bad teeth and out of proportion facial features, they're creepy?

squoosh · 29/07/2015 12:29

It's all subjective but I don't find him attractive and do find his smile creepy.

And no, I don't fancy 'fat, saggy, jowly, wrinkled' men. What a weird leap to make.

ElkeDagMeisje "He is a good looking man."

That is your opinion. It's not mine. As i said above, to me he looks like a ventroliquist's dummy. I don't find that attractive.

ouryve · 29/07/2015 12:36

I have a squishy spot for him, but Ihave a middle.aged geek all of my own.

Diggum · 29/07/2015 12:37

I think he's lovely but it is probably a lot to do with how enthusiastic he is.

I think that sort of enthusiasm is what drew me initially to my primary TV love, Kevin McCloud.

Ah Kevin.....

squoosh · 29/07/2015 12:41

I don't fancy Kev (he rambles on a bit much) but you've reminded me of someone who does catch my eye when he pops up on telly talking about architectural matters.

Charlie Luxton.

I do...and why not??? Grin

NoSOHisadealbreaker · 29/07/2015 12:51

Elke you are, thus far, the lone voice of affrontedness on this very good humoured and light hearted thread. Are YOU Mrs Brian Cox Grin

NoSOHisadealbreaker · 29/07/2015 12:53

btw I DO quite like his sometime sidekick Robin Ince although whenever I have seen him live (few occasions) he has appeared to be a total stranger to the concept of 'always leave them wanting more'

Baddz · 29/07/2015 12:55

God, no!
It always amazes me when people fancy such rubber faced wonders...BC, MR, you wouldn't look at them twice if they weren't on the telly!

tomatodizzymum · 29/07/2015 13:01

Not my type but yes he's very attractive. My 12 year old thinks he's great and my sad 72 year old mother is all in a tizz because they live in the neighbourhood. She got like that over Rowan Atkinson years back, to be fair, so that probably isn't all that flattering to Brian Cox.

I'm with ScorpioMermaid on this one

You'd be amazed at the men who have floated my boat, Baddz. BC absolutely would get a second look.

Who is the chap who does the shed programme? Now he is OK...in a way :)

squoosh · 29/07/2015 13:12

Is the shed programme guy the guy from Newcastle who's always crying?

Raia · 29/07/2015 13:13

George Clarke

Baddz · 29/07/2015 13:18

Ew :)
nope.
Not for me.
I like sexy hot beardy fuckers :)

squoosh · 29/07/2015 13:19

Brian Blessed?

BothEndsBurning · 29/07/2015 13:19

Brian Cox? Yuck. He reminds me of Tony Blair.

Baddz · 29/07/2015 13:20

As Vulcan in Flash Gordon?
YES
:):)

WitchofScots · 29/07/2015 13:21

BothEnds I'll never like BC again now you've said that! TB looks like he is straight out of the Spitting Image workshop.

Yes, George Clarke. He's quite good. Mind you, I don't like men with beards at all so I guess he'd have to shave.
