I'm open to suggestions.

Cox or the OP?

Next is Wonders of Life, according to his twitter feed.

This is correct.

His next series is going to be called wonders of the apococlypse! He announced it on twitter

This is not. He posted that as a joke in response to 2012 apocalypse theories

Personally, I'm not too sure about him. It's the grin and his strangely smooth voice that make me suspicious of him. That and he calls a lot of people "nobber" on twitter, but I kinda admire that

He does something that 99.9% of scientists can't, communicate. And he does it well.

Yeah, he's a bit smug, but hey, he's a young Prof, with his own TV career than will only get bigger, works for CERN and has even had a number 1 single. I'd be pretty smug

I can't stand the guy. The best person and program was Into The Universe With Stephen Hawking.

The truth is that you just love his oldham/ rochdale accent. And while your watching you're wondering how clever words are being spoken by someone who sounds so dim. It creates a compelling yet confusing mental juxtaposition that keeps you hooked.

His accent is great, I also love how he calls everyone on Twitter "nobbers"

Great guy, great series...

Would love to see more on this type of stuff on the BBC! I wouldn't resent paying the license fee then

If he is raising interest in science and space travel then he is doing all of us a service

I rather enjoy his series and his style of conveying complex ideas.

Does he also talk about 'likkle' planets and a bunch of other northern numpty speak? Northerners on TV always make me laugh.
