[rollindanny57]

We used to dreeeeeeeeam of livin in a shoebox !

[swifttuttle]

@joelongjiamian it's called The Monument by Chris Elliot and it's in The Warner Chappell production music library CD CHAP320. Most of the other music was composed by Sheridan who is now working hard on the next series "Wonders of the Universe"

[rollindanny57]

He's actualy from a mysterious place called Oldham ont edge ov moor. A land of black puddings and strange girls with tatoos that talk with an ancient dialect.

[louisorleans]

@rollindanny57 Yeah & flat caps, ferrets and raw coal for supper.

[louisorleans]

Excellent series.

[jahrleriksen]

the music at ~6 mins sounds much like Brian Eno...very nice

[cantroos]

he has a good irish accent, sounds very different from the usual kind

[Punkninja12]

@cantroos I bet it gives you wood.

[cantroos]

@Punkninja12 maybe from a scientific perspective it does

[emomuffin7]

@cantroos irish??? who?

[cantroos]

@emomuffin7 the presenter, I'm not sure of his name. It's an Irish accent isn't it?

[jahrleriksen]

@cantroos His name is Brian Cox, wiki him for more information: Brian Cox (physicist)

[cantroos]

@jahrleriksen I thought he was a scientist not a doctor

[jahrleriksen]

@cantroos A physicist studies physics. A physician is a medical doctor...(assuming this was the source of confusion)...cheers

[emomuffin7]

@cantroos ahh no..thats northern english! he's from manchester i believe... :)

[louisorleans]

@cantroos He's actually from Oldham, Lancashire in the north of England, not Ireland.

[cantroos]

@louisorleans kind of the same thing though right, ireland and england are connected

[louisorleans]

@cantroos Yes ireland and england are exactly the same thing absolutely, and yes they are connected... by that bit of land called the Irish sea. Canada & the USA are kinda the same thing right? 'Cept Canadians are way brighter. Wonders of the Solar system: How Canadians learned to tie their shoelaces. Chuckle out loud. :)

cape town my hometown so great to see it on a documentary

[hypeblast]

i dont think the story of Late Heavy Bombardment is the reason why WE WERE CREATED.. you don't need a reaction to make a chain reaction..

this episode is more like a myth..

[hypeblast]

@hypeblast regarding episode 2

[vigcs]

Too bad he couldn't get in one of the USAF's U2s like James May did.

Excellent series nonetheless.

[grandtheftbanana]

[freemeherb]

[DeadWhiteButterflies]

Brian Cox: The British Carl Sagan? :D

I actually felt very moved when I saw just how small and fragile the atmosphere is. It makes you grateful to be alive. Inspiring.

Thank you for this documentary The solar system is a very interesting place to do research in, this is something that should be thought about more.

[johnnythelowery]

I was told a strory by a ex-RAF Lightning pilot by the name of ...............it'll come in a minute. He recounted a story of a competition at a RAF station as the commander was away. One pilot participant aimed his lightning straight up. The lightning tumbled head over heel, he tumbled, lost conciousness, on it's way down, he regained his conciousness, and landed minus the paint that was on it when he took off !!! The first man in space!

[AnonH5N1]

As far as I know, the composer for the introduction song is Sheridan Tongue. If you go to his site, you can listen to it. He may be the composer of all the music for this series, who knows.

[swifttuttle]

The music at 7.23 is production library music. I know, I chose it.

[joelongjiamian]

@swifttuttle so what track is it, exactly? I would really like to know :3

[19M90]

I don't think its show produced as I've heard it somewhere before. Anyone have any idea what the music is?

[Eddyvanjones]

does anyone know the name of the song that begins playing at 7.23 and carries on untill the end of the segment???

thank you please

[m31119]

@Eddyvanjones I think its just show produced. But it sounds a bit like Boards of Canada

[xxBalialxx]

@m31119 I don't know who the song is by, but I do know that it's definitely NOT Boards of Canada :P
