To think that Brian Cox is really rather gorgeous....

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

Not mad on the first two, but I will very kindly agree to a torrid affair with the one in the white shirt.

penguinsaresmall · 29/07/2015 13:23

YABU!

He looks like Steve Tyler's lovechild. And if that's not bad enough, his voice is like fingernails on a blackboard.

squoosh · 29/07/2015 13:23

Oh wait, is the the guy from that time travel programme? I've met him, he's a nice chap.

penguinsaresmall · 29/07/2015 13:24

George Clarke used to be ok but recently his head had melted.

Baddz · 29/07/2015 13:24

His name is Sam heughan.
You should see him in a kilt!

Baddz · 29/07/2015 13:25

MET HIM!?
MET HIM!?

TELL ME EVERYTHING!!

squoosh · 29/07/2015 13:38

Grin Nothing too exciting to tell I'm afraid! It was a work related meeting and he was very nice. He's taller than most actors and he looks the same in real life as on screen. He's quite quiet (or was that day) but not reserved, a friendly kind of quiet.

I can neither confirm nor deny that he smells of caramel.

Baddz · 29/07/2015 13:48

Oooooh.
I would have licked him.
I admire your restraint :)

"He looks exactly like one of those old-fashioned ventriloquists' dummies."

Nothing - nothing! - is going to stop me fancying Foxy Coxy but that is brilliant Grin

Alfieisnoisy · 29/07/2015 13:56

YADNBU but when I posted the same last year I got lots of "ewwww" type responses. The man is gorgeous.

George Clarke's from Washington, not Newcastle. Never accuse a Mackem of being Geordie :o

Littlegreyauditor · 29/07/2015 15:25

I can totally see the attraction. Then again I am married to a middle aged physics geek, who dresses like one of the stone roses and has to be threatened with fire or lured with nakedness to separate him from his guitar. Clearly I have a type.

"Tell me about string theory" (sheds clothes)

GraysAnalogy · 29/07/2015 15:46

He's lovely.

OhGoveUckYourself · 29/07/2015 16:01

Not a fan either. The droning voice and the ventriloquist's dummy face don't do it for me. Richard Osman on the other hand.....

loolah83 · 29/07/2015 16:26

I've thought he was a wee beaut ever since he was doing that science experiment feature on This Morning about 10 years ago. He's lovely, seems very down to earth. His wife is pretty cool too...

This is the most brilliant username and I totally agree with your taste too!

OhGoveUckYourself · 29/07/2015 16:50

Thank you NoSOH. Nice to meet another RO fan. Grin

Was going to leave this one alone and then penguin dissed Steven Tyler [shocked]

I have tried but cannot see what is alluring about Brian Cox at all. DH has a major thing for Prof Alice but she is without a male equal. I was a serious Sir Patrick Moore fan. (thinking my tastes may not be mainstream?)

Majorly annoyed by BC's coverage of the solar eclipse as it was dumbed down so much I had to spend the best part of a fortnight independently researching and getting my lunar physics up to scratch. Still have homemade Orrery on the drawing board and staying up for the lunar eclipse in the autumn. One well presented episode could have saved me all of this.

I guess YANBU as long as you don't expect me to follow your lead.
