      Cojak has a fancy for Cox, I believe.
      Practically perfect in every way....there's a time and (more importantly) a place for malarkey.

          This guy can be annoying to listen to:



          Interesting programmes, but I'd prefer another presenter.
          HE used to stay at the end of my road but then again better the devil you know, these twats used to stay across the road.

              People who constantly grin for no apparent reason are at best disconcerting and often creepy and sinister, and for me that makes his documentaries utterly unwatchable, despite the interesting subject matter.

                Cox was also a guest on the seven hundredth Sky At Night last night. What an institution Sir Patrick Moore is and how sad it will be when he stops, which can't be long now.

                  I tried watching the show last night but just found it so slow going. It took 5 minutes of waffle and a ton of fancy graphics to explain rather simple concepts and I got very bored so I flipped it over to 'Civilisation: Is the west history?' on Ch4+1.

                  Many of my friends have said they've learnt more from Cox in one hour than they did at school in years... Perhaps I just had a good teacher..?

                    Given the comments, perhaps it's time that the BBC aired some programmes that go a little deeper, with mathematics and everything. I'm sure Cox is more than capable of doing so.

                      The BBC don't pay him either according to the article! WTF
