A wonderful new trailer, with music by Eric Idle (Monty Python), for the forthcoming BBC science miniseries, entitled The Wonders of Life, hosted by Brian Cox.

First episode airs January 2013.
Not sure when this series will hit the American airwaves, but you can bet I'll be watching when it does!
Brian Cox is such a great presenter and scientist…
Absolutely. The best, IMHO, since Carl Sagan!
I think he is great and not like the usual professor.
Did you know he played in the band D:Ream for years until they disbanded.
Wow Harry, I did not know that. That is just freaking cool!
Apparently he was in another band called DARE as well!
Yes but that band only lasted a few years, dream were very good.
Well, the fact that he became good enough to perform with two different bands while amassing his huge store of knowledge makes him even more impressive in my eyes!
The name Brian Cox doesn’t sound familiar, but I love BBC’s science and nature documentaries. I’ll be watching for this one for sure.
Brian Cox is the guy from “Wonders of the Solar System” and “Wonders of the Universe” on The Discovery Science Channel. I’ve posted clips before, most notably in my The Worst Flood Ever? post. I love listening to him talk about science!
I have never heard of him but I hope we get this over here
I expect it will come to the Discovery Science Channel first here in the US. If you get that one there, that’s where I’d check.
Nah we don’t…sucks big time.
OMG, no Science Channel?!?! I pay for an “expanded” cable package, with gobs of extra channels I don’t watch, just so I can watch that one and History International (H2)!
Izaak, satallite as not reached New Zealand yet
Oh no Harry, say it ain’t so!!!
Hey I-Man,
I changed my wordpress theme and lost my revolver map. You had sent me the code that works with the funky wordpress settings, but I can’t find it. Would you mind? Thanks.
The WP page for your theme doesn’t show the width of your sidebar, so I had to go with the default 220px width. You can find the code to use in a text widget at http://textsnip.com/e6ff47. Let me know how it works.
Hey,
I pasted the info into my widget, but just got a funky symbol. Am I doing something wrong?
It’s been so long since I did this. It’s possible I’m overlooking some thing myself, such as the “identifier” for your site. Try going to http://www.revolvermaps.com/?target=setup yourself to get the code so I can covert it to gigya format for you. BE SURE TO CHECK THE “Flash version via HTML (MySpace etc.)” OPTION!
Post the code you get at http://textsnip.com/ and reply with the link provided…
Hope I did this right:

You’re the best!
You forget to check the “Flash version via HTML (MySpace etc.)” option…
Thought I did that:
Here is your url:

You can view your text/code here: http://textsnip.com/9079c0
Okay, let’s try this one: http://textsnip.com/32a2db
The “i=” reference IS different! Note that I’ve left off the center codes also, just to eliminate any possibilities there…
Poi-fect! You rock, I-man
I’m just glad I could help! Too bad your old one wasn’t in place, as I think it would have retained your existing stats…
I was thinking the same thing. Blows. Oh well. Thanks again. Sending props out to you in my next post.
That’s nice, but knowing I was able to help is all the thanks I need…
