Brian Cox: Solar System (2024)

[Brian G Turner]

I didn't know this was a thing until I noticed a link on the BBC website promoting catch up with iPlayer - anyway, it's also available to buy on Amazon Prime so I expect we'll be watching this very soon.

EDIT: And here's a short 10 min interview with him about making the series - and he's in an entertainingly happy mood about it all.

Slightly off topic but I recently watched Hubble: the wonders of space revealed.
It’s an old documentary from 2020 and it tells the story of the telescope - including the remedial work carried out on the mirror. It’s available on iPlayer and is both fascinating and informative. A nice companion to Solar System I think

A colleague of mine appeared in an episode about "wandering worlds" in the somehow related US/NOVA version of this show. Through her, our group tried to offer some feedback on the visuals and narration while the episode was still in production. I wonder if we were successful...

Just finished watching the series. A bit light on content, but overall really good, and enjoyable.
