I've only just noticed that people are looking for Jonathan Ross's Twitter stream via my blog, so thought I'd make it easier. He's here.

Phew! I can finally say something about this. Brian was up for Dawkins' job, down to the final three (or was it four?!), but didn't get it. And the winner is...

Me - Brian Cox For Dawkins' Job -
A couple people in the comments have said they think Brian should take over from Richard Dawkins when he retires this year. If you're on Facebook, you can join the Brian Cox For Dawkins' Job group. Not started be me incidentally.

Honestly, this isn't a blog just about Brian. That would be really weird... but... indulge me just a bit longer.
Some of you may have seen the article about Brian in the Observer today. Now, you guys are intelligent and realise that not everything you read in a newspaper is accurate. This was made absolutely clear to me this morning as I was sitting in my bathrobe, hair all over the place, barefoot, all coffee breath, unshowered and read, "he married his American wife, glamorous TV presenter Gia Milinovich, in secret." :-/
Ah well...

Grid Focus by Derek Punsalan 5thirtyone.com.
The revolution will not be televised it will be on YouTube and they will be our leaders.
Are you coming tonight? Your anti spam math questions get harder – how about some long division?
Was that Ant and Dec? Did some sort of Star Trek accident turn Shaun Ryder and Bez into small children?
I am coming tonight, Lee…
Jas, it totally is Shaun Ryder and Bez turned into little Scandinavian kids (I assume)… I love the tall kid loads. I want him on a tshirt.
Actually this is an early pilot for Extras with Ricky and Stephen
You’re kidding right? People being stupid in front of a camera while miming? TV professionals have nothing to worry about. I’d rather a good episode of House, West Wing, The Office (UK version) (insert more here) than this stuff.
Sure it’s fun for a few seconds, but it has no substance. I watched this for 15 seconds then stopped. Couldn’t be bothered sitting through the whole thing.
These young gentlemen ROCK! The use of the rope was inspired.
Both boys had a good grasp on the characters they were portraying. I liked.
Diego,
Agreed. But then again I agree about presenters too.
Where do all the old presenters go?
Podcast heaven I guess.
omih: ex-MTV DJ’s go to podcast heaven too. Hi Adam Curry! :)
Ah, se, Diego, I work in telly and agree that tv can do drama very well. This isn’t drama. This is ‘reality’. And I for one think these two kids miming to a song I loathe to be a million times better than Big Brother, Love Island or whatever other crap is on tv… These two have far more passion than anyone working in TV. Fact.
Damn, there goes the day! I just can’t turn it off; help me!!!!
The worst thing is, no matter how muc you hate the song, you’ll be singing it all day now and have that tall kids face at the forefront of your mind. He RULES!
Isn’t that Bill Gates?
Lets hope that the switch from TV to Streaming media thing happens very soon… Still inspiring and no doubt the next viral video that will drive people nuts… the frog is bad enough!
I showed this video to my 10 year old son last night. He loved it. He’s having a friend stay over this weekend and as we were leaving for school this morning he said, ‘We’ve got to show [his friend] the Crazy Frog video. Maybe we can make one when he stays over!’…
So there’s my Saturday night.
This is pure, uncut entertainment. When the kid in red swung in on the rope, I thought I was going to lose it.
Good fun. These kids don’t take themselves seriously, don’t care what anybody thinks and are just being kids. Hilarious. Thanks for the laugh.
Note to their big brothers, capture this video for when you do the toast at little bro’s wedding.
Gigia: Ahh well, I don’t like ‘reality’ TV. So that must be why it doesn’t do it for me. :)
I want to shoot the kid in the background.
