Brian Cox's hair

#1 Post by getreal » February 28th, 2010, 11:00 am

Does anyone here think Brian Cox's hair is stupid?

I know that he is presenting a new science series on BBC, but I can't find when it's on. Does anyone know?

In looking for details of the new series I came accross some strange comments about him, including the view that he had stupid hair.

He's a physicist. Hair isn't his speciality :wink:
I was trying to remember who he reminds me of. I got it: Austin Powers but without the sex appeal or bad teeth. Groovy, baby!

Isn't the show called: Physics Rocks? Seems like it's a Radio 4 broadcast.

No, there's a BBC TV programme being advertised at the moment, but, as usual, I have forgotten when it starts. I can't find it easily on ther BBC website, so I think I'll have to laboriously go through the listings pages for the next couple of weeks.

Brian Cox=Austin Powers????

Are you mad, woman????!!!!!

I don't think his hair has changed much over the years:

There are three fundamental questions for anyone advocating Brexit:

1. What, precisely, are the significant and tangible benefits of leaving the EU?
2. What damage to the UK and its citizens is an acceptable price to pay for those benefits?
3. Which ruling of the ECJ is most persuasive of the need to leave its jurisdiction?

Also, don't forget he's at Westminster Skeptics on 15th March ...

I wonder whether he'll sing "Things can only get worse" at Cameron's victory bash.

Again, another reason to wish I lived within striking distance of the capital- and to think, untill December I had never set foot in the great metropolis!

Still, Brian Cox's hair. Great, isn't it?

He could easily pass for a cross-dresser. Grow that hair a little more. Some lipstick. I've seen some pretty convincing women... :exit:

I once sat next to Brian Cox at a recording of some radio panel show that Eddie Izzard was in. I didn't think his hair was too bad for a man his age.
