Radio Times

Two regular features should be adopted forthwith by other chat shows. The first is getting the studio audience to chip in with questions. In this edition a fan asks popstar-turned-physicist Brian Cox the ticklish “Which are better – pop groupies or science groupies?” and gets an unequivocal answer.

Another innovation is, of course, Brydon’s fondness for the loosely strung sing-song, led this week by Kelly Jones of Stereophonics on acoustic guitar as Brydon bellows through Pretty Woman – with help from Ray Winstone. But before that, there’s Brydon’s banter with his audience members, including a man literally born in a toilet: “I’m glad we’ve flushed you out...”

About this programme

6/6. Ray Winstone tries to teach Rob how to act tough, and reads a classic children's story for the audience. TV presenter and physics professor Brian Cox talks about his efforts to make science accessible for everyone, and Stereophonics singer Kelly Jones performs and reflects on the music that has inspired his career. Last in the series.
