There have been many times over the years when I’ve been extremely proud of my lovely husband. His appearance on Newsnight the other night is right at the bloody top of the list. Delight with me in the massive smackdown he gives to Sir David King who, believe it or not, is the President of the British Association of the Advancement of Science. Seriously.

“On this day, of all days.”

The director of Horizon, Paul Olding, has put up more behind-the-scenes clips from the new one on Time.

Why should we want to understand Time?

How the minus sign protects the past from the future.

On Life in the Universe.

Loads more here.

I just had an email from Phil Plait with a link to a very funny reaction to the season finale of Torchwood. Oh! How I laughed. Obviously, if you don’t know what happened and don’t want to know what happened, don’t watch.

Yes, yes, I’ve seen the other ones using the same clip.

A little video of Kevin Eldon and Simon Munnery at CERN. With Machadaynu goodness. :)

In. The. World.

You are no longer needed. This is better than anything on ITV. Pack your bags. Goodbye.

The alarm went off just after 7. ‘The Today Programme’ popped on. I decided to listen to the news for a bit like I normally do when Brian isn’t around (when he’s here I tend to turn it off right away to let him sleep)… The story about Google buying YouTube came on. From under the duvet on the other side of the bed I heard a croaky:

“Why didn’t you invent YouTube?”

I’m spending more and more time on YouTube. I thought I’d share some of my recent favourites.

Adam Buxton of Adam and Joe fame. His Tiny TV Boss is not only very funny, but an accurate protrayal of British Television Executives.

Film Maker Dot Com is the YouTube presence of The Media Lounge. You might recognise some of the recent videos. :)

Geriactric 1927 is what the internet is all about.

The Big Lebowski- The F*cking Short Version (Needs sound. Probably not safe for work. Wear headphones.)

    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...

  • Observer Article -

    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...
