Watching the first episode of Professor Brian Cox's Science Brittanica I thought it rather ironic that in the lab where the GM potatoes were being modified the variety shown was Lady Balfour.

I noticed that Colin they probably thought it was an intellectual joke that no one else would pick up on.

I admit, I had to look it up!

anyway, on a side note, I cannot stand Prof. Cox, he just annoys me intensely. (my mother would say 'I'm sure he speaks very highly of you too!')
:lol:

I admire Brian very much, and I particularly respect what he's doing for the promotion of the understanding of science. But I cannot deny that there is something about him that does irritate me ever so slightly.
Allotment, but little achieved.

Probably the fact that he's 45 and still looks 25! Annoys me too :wink:

He should do more horticulture - his opinion on moon planting would be fun.

Regardless of which subject he is talking about, he makes it interesting and easy to understand.
Being easy on the eye makes a change from the dusty old scientists too. :wink:

I'm afraid to say that I've never watched any program he's done :oops:
I've even had too much Attenborough... I shall probably be hung, drawn and quartered now.
