Enjoyed it too - Cox has a superb ability as a science communicator - a rare task amongst academics in hte sciences (and one I wish I could emulate - not that I've got a face for TV :greengrin).Quote:

Quite a nihilistic conclusion - but such is our fate.
Just started Chernobyl. Bloody hell.
Half way through Summer of Rockets, quite enjoying it.
Shame next week is the last one it’s been immense.Quote:

Terrifying. What if they had got it all wrong? The world I grew up in would be vastly different.Quote:

Doubt many people will watch on Saturday night at 9pm of course
It'll be interesting 13 years after it ended!Quote:

I didn’t see the original, but I enjoyed the new version. My only issue was that it was a bit dumbed down to allow for viewers that were new to the subject. It was a bit lacking in theory and concentrated on what we already knew. I would’ve liked them to have concentrated a bit more on the fact that Venus and Mars were once habital and the possibility that life could have started and may still exist on these planets. Brian Cox is a great scientist and a great presenter and I’m sure he could delve a bit deeper into the facts. I’m sure as the series progresses and the ambiguity lessens the show will become better.Quote:

Chernobyl documentary
Neil gaiman and Terry pratchett's Good Omens begins today on amazon prime.
Killing Eve series 2 begins next weekend.
Saving Grace series 2 is airing on S4C just now, but it is in Welsh. Have to wait for it to come to BBC 1 for it in English.
Good Omens first episode was a good sign for the rest of the series.
Wow, I didn't know they were making a movie. There were always rumours it was going to happen but I hadn't realised that they had managed to do it. This has made my weekend!Quote:
