Astronauts - Do you have what it takes - narrator?

[Spaghettio]

It's driving me mad! Can anyone tell me who the narrator is? I recognise the voice but can't place it!

Argh!!!

Not sure but recognisable.

One of the candidates sounds like Prof Brian Cox though.

I think he did one of those dead people shows - like silent witness, but a different one. If it's the guy I think it is, he's also done some period dramas.... but I don't know his name so can't check!

Actually, just hearing it again, I think I'm wrong.....!

I tnihk it is Adrian Dunbar from 'Line of Duty'

I tnihk it is Adrian Dunbar from 'Line of Duty'

It was annoying me so much, I just checked on iPlayer- you're right! Adrian Dunbar. My mind is at rest now.

Tim is the candidate that reminds me of prof BC.

It is the Line of Duty guy, I think it's the wrong voice for this series.

Anyway, was searching for a thread on this program, I just love Tim, I really really want him to win. I loved him at the 'party' with his mum last night.

As a considerably older mum lol - I have a special place in my heart for Adrian Dunbar as I used to watch him as a young fledgling actor at the Lyric Theatre in Belfast long before he became famous

I love Adrian Dunbar, and I love this show, its really interesting, I think the candidates are great, don't think I'd have the nerve for any of it.

Tim is my favourite, I love his enthusiasm! I missed it not being on this week.

Anyone watch tonight, god it's a tough process, can't wait to see who gets selected next week.

I’ve just watched it. I’m looking forward to the final on Sunday but I still can’t warm to Kerry!

I wonder how the editing has been done?

One thing though - it certainly puts the Apprentice to shame.

I really enjoyed this series, it was so interesting, would love to see something like it again.

I really enjoyed it too. I cried when the winner was revealed! I think it was the right outcome

I'm just watching it now so don't know the winner yet.
I only realised it was on half way through the series. I thought the winner would become an astronaut but isn't it just that the space expert (don't know his actual title) just gives them a recommendation to become one??

Yes, when they apply for astronaut training, they'll get a recommendation from Cmdr Hadfield. Plus they will have done some of the selection tests before!

I really liked this series, though all the contestants made me feel like an under-achiever with their PhDs It was great to see people being celebrated for their intelligence and hard work.

I just kind of thought after all that they might have something more concrete to show for it but they might not even make it to be an astronaut after all still.

I would so not want to be an astronaut.

A recommendation from Chris Hadfield (who is much more than just a space expert) is a massive plus to put on your application. It’s such a hard thing to get in to and that’ll give them a real advantage.

I’m glad Suzie won over Kerry, she was a far better all round candidate. I love Tim though, he seems so genuinely lovely.

I really liked Tim too

I hope they do get to be an astronaut

loved Tim getting excited about the zips on his jumpsuit right at the very end . Pleased Suzie won, although why did we have to wait till the last episode to find out that she discovered and then climbed mountains in her spare time?

Didn't warm to Kerry at all, we felt she was being forced down our throats as the winner from early on (a la Candice last year in Bake Off), so it was good that the editing wasn't as signposting as it could have been.

It had definitely been mentioned about Suzie in one of the early episodes, maybe 2 or 3? She was the right choice especially given Tim and his closeness with his family.

I cried too dimples! My kids thought it was hilarious!

We were rooting for Tim, but Suzie was pretty incredible too and yes, we did already know about her being an explorer extraordinaire. Tim's future is so so bright doing something amazing that's for sure!

Kerry was just too robotic and insincere, saying what she thought she should say rather than being natural.

I'll have to go back and rewatch then, I could only remember being told she was the most experienced mountaineer of the group
