How intriguing. As a rule I'm trying to stay away from the Cabaret stage this year after spending far far far too much time in there in previous years PBC might make me break that rule.

Looking for the actual stage-time, but no luck so far...

You probably wont get it until the day. Always a big board outside the tent with all the timings on, so just wonder through in the morning

[SeanF]

Yeah, I thought that might be the case - although even the day it's on would help.

I've posted a message on Prof Cox's Facebook page in the hope he might post back.

Some info on the BBC website  http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-13678653

Perhaps he does a lecture on the big bang theory along with D:Ream tunes on keyboard

[Halcyon]

Brian isn't really a comedian, but he does have a fairly wacky sense of humour and his talks/lectures are funny, whether he means them to be or not.  He'll probably be doing either his talk about the conflict between the science of fact and faith/astrology/magic, a biography of Carl Sagan, or the lack of investment in science and the recent lack of progress in space exploration.  Will probably involve Robin Ince and Ben Goldacre (as they're all good friends) in some way.

Check out the 'Infinite Monkey Cage Podcast' for a taste.  http://www.bbc.co.uk...sts/series/timc



I'll be there with bells on.

He never looks at his facebook, His wife Gia runs it. Twitter is the best route to him.

Saw him on the Uncaged Monkeys tour a couple weeks back - fascinating show (if essentially clever man does PowerPoint).

No juggling to be seen, but quite a few geeky jokes!

Wasn't this known for a while?  I also remember a time of Saturday midday-ish being bandied around. I'd already had him pencilled in for then.

[DrWackadoodle]

They're (Brian Cox and Robin Ince) recording an episode of the Infinite Monkey Cage with Billy Bragg and Shappi Khorsandi  ... surly that's what's being alluded to?

Good pun!

I do love Wonders, but it does feel like he's coming on to me through the telly, which is bit weird.

[Istari]

This is gonna be so good. Can't wait for him to say "a billion, billion, billion, billion times"
