Wonders Of The Universe. BBC2. Sunday, 9pm
Professor Brian Cox has carved a comfortable niche out for himself as the BBC's new accessible face of astrophysics, and in the meantime has plugged a gap which has required filling since The Sky At Night's Sir Patrick Moore lost full bladder control. His Wonders Of The Universe program which is currently lending weight to BBC2's Sunday night schedule has proven to be the perfect tonic to those impending Monday blues.
Prof. Cox, one-time pop starlet with D:ream (remember them?) imbues his chosen topic with the type of infectious wonder usually only mustered up by a child at their first carnival. Cox can barely gasp his way through a couple of minutes of universal wonder without gleefully reminding us that this is why he loves physics so much. And who can argue with him? Indeed who couldn't help but agree with anything that we see on Wonders when the giver of these truths delivers each fact as though it was the happiest moment of his life? At one point in the proceedings Cox is teaching us about the effect gravity has on all matter, an effect which will ultimately see all said matter crushed out of existence. Yet Cox presents this none-too-pleasant fate as though it were a happy ending of Disney-esque proportions. It must be said that when my dog dies I want Brian Cox to deliver the news.
The program itself it a calming mix of footage of things which are very far away, as photographed by the various telescopic flotsam in orbit, with more down to Earth footage to help the viewer understand how it all works in ways which people with normal brains, like you and I can understand. Want to know what entropy is? Well here is a sandcastle beside a similar sized pile of loose sand. One has low entropy (least different ways each grain of sand can arranged to make the same shape, ie. sandcastle) and the other high entropy (most different ways... etc). This astrophysics lark sure is easy. And that's the beauty of Wonders of the Universe, it allows the viewer to believe that science is really fun and not at all really just a series of numbers on a screen in some cheerless lab, or that time in school when we finished our English homework. This science has colour and photographs. And we understand this science. Oh yes. We're all cleaver now. Thank you Prof.
