Nice camera work. Is that the "peek-a-boo" philosophy? I love the part where they switched cameras. Notice how quick Brian catches on. He's pretty sharp.
whyt he fuck... did they zoom the camera through a crowd of people?? way to take good science and ruin it with bullshit camera angels that serve only to confuse the brilliant, and get the affectation of cultural identity to the stupid
"Hybrids are here to stay" no doubt but in what numbers? They have been available now for over 10 years but have made little inroads in mainstream motoring. We are looking a period of dramatic technological flux in road transport which could last 20-30 years before a final solution to an internal combustion engine appears. I don't mean electric vehicles because they have been around as long as the motor car with little take up, in fact a 50% reduction in sales in UK alone for 2011 over 2010.
@bossadave The first proper internal combustion car was invented in 1878, but only became sort of popular in the 20's. No one can say for sure whether hybrids will be here to stay, but you can't expect them to boom in 10 years.
I can't even watch this. Is there any reasoning behind distracting the viewer so much that I can't relax enough to concentrate on what is being said? Is the idea of modern documentary making more about engaging the attention as opposed to the mind?
Surely when it's easier to absorb the information with eyes closed than open, there could be a better way of presenting it.
@foiblebear This is standard Brian Cox Cam. He's a cool scientist, so he has to be portrayed in a cool way by someone who did a media studies course at their local polytechnic and thinks they're now Coppola. I agree with you that it is distracting. What I did was listen while I looked at other shit.
They are all missing the point, a toyota Prius is probably the worse car in the world to actually drive! It is saving pollution because it is so awful that people would rather stay at home than actually go in it.
@microphon3 i think we should take a peek into what's happening in cern, im sure it's run by an army of Brian Cox clones trying to cultivate a massive black hole to overtake the earth

It's so laughable. 3l cars have been around for decades, the real talk should be about 1l cars. Still nothing was implemented (except by greenpeace, not that big of a car manufacturer though). It is INTEREST of the criminal elite that is stopping these developements. HPV aren't offered. Solar cars drive with 50 MPH in the race in Australia. This is all very, very old news. Brian Cock is a ridiculous PR puppet of the criminal industry.

He calls it a "PREEus" at the beginning like we do in the states, then calls it a "PRYus" after like they do in the UK.
Wonder why.

Why on earth is it thought to be "cool" to have incompetent camera work ?
I feel sea sick. Yet clearly it was a serious piece.
Sack the director who told the camera man "do it badly.. yeagh yeagh... I can't oncentrate great...!!!!"

Brian Cock seems to be a total clown. Everytime I stumble upon that guy he talks shit.
The problem is the car, not the way to run it. Half of the energy waste a car is responsible for is wasted during it's production.
Traffic jams are no problem of the motor, it's a problem of the ridiculous concept.
