Grinning Brian Cox
13 March 2011 | by (London) – See all my reviews

This extraordinary subject is made unpalatable by the grinning presenter Brian Cox. Brian Cox is annoying, unengaging and lacks the authority this subject needs.

The production itself seems very excessive with Cox being flown to remote locations probably at very high expense to expound upon time and the universe.

Every second shot seems to be a close-up or long-shot of the presenter.

It is almost unbelievable that such a wondrous subject could be made so boring because of inept presentation, writing, editing and clichéd post-production sound design.
