Prof B Cox

[stephec]

He seems pretty inoffensive to me, there's nothing about him to wind me up, he just presents his subject in a straightforward way without any over the top showbiz nonsense.

What would you rather he do, screech on nauseatingly like Tess Daly or Davina McColl?

If you judge a presenter by the, "would I sit in a pub and have a drink with them?" test then he passes for me.

My wife's best mate drools over him as well.

If truth be known. I can't speak through the drool.

Blimey, Brian's changed a bit!

I like watching Stargazing live. At first glance I thought he was Steven Tyler. After that I was a little surprised (pleasantly) with his delivery style. I may try to find some of his other shows to watch as well.

Cox = young whippersnapper. Give me AJP Taylor any day.

Nah, Brian Inglis (All Our Yesterdays).

Cox is OK, but he's no Adam Hart Davis.

Ooo he's got navigation socks, I've got some of those, he's got them on the right feet too. I haven't got crocs though, wouldn't want to look like a nobber.

Oooh, hello sailor!
They're the lastest spd crocs though.

I can't stand the man. Were Elvis alive he'd doubtless shoot one more telly just to get rid of this blokes stupid gurning fizzog.

Clever, intelligent, talented, and a face even his mother doubtless wants to punch.

I much prefer that nice Michael Portillo chap. Put him in some brown wingtip brogues, slacks and a neatly pressed shirt, top it off with a straw boater and send him off with a leather satchel over his shoulder and he could do a much more middle class job of explaining the universe.

Only if he can quote Bradshaw

Nope

Cox is the most boring, up himself man on the telly.

If you don't like him, don't watch his shows. It's easy to avoid presenters that you don't like.

Actually, I say that, but I've just remembered a boat trip I took on Loch Lomond recently. There was a voice-over by Neil Oliver who I find absolutely infuriating, with his overly earnest style and breathy, twee accent. Fortunately he didn't feature heavily so I didn't have to fling myself into the water.

[QUOTE 3349500, member: 259"]That bloody 'trademark' handbag he carries! Aaaagh![/QUOTE]

I never noticed the handbag. I watched one episode of Vikings and couldn't work out why I was so angry. Mrs RM casually suggested it 'was probably the presenter, even I thought he was a bit of a bellend'. Mrs RM is a wise woman.

If we are talking about voices that annoy me, it has to be Dr Maggie Aderin-Pocock.
She seems to add too many unnatural pauses into her sentences.
