  • That man forgets Dr Wells went to college at 16, Phd by the time most of us graduated college. He's a genius, that host was so far out of his league and so 'angst-y!'

  • @vcuchick2001

    Will Self is not the host of this series. He's a novelist brought on to converse with a geneticist. It's an attempt to synthesise literature and science. They're not competing for they work in separate disciplines. If you read the journalistic work of Self in the New Statesman you might find that he is a peerless writer. But you will need to expand the frontiers of your knowledge before you can appreciate that.

  • This is effin awesome.

  • "more chronic diseases...."

    The technology needed to treat such illnesses is called fruits and vegetables.

  • Tanks for this. I'm a big fan of Self and Ballard. My favourite Self work is also Quantity Theory of Insanity.

  • @vcuchick2001 Yeah, sorry, but you kinda missed the point here. Check out Self's work - he's a fantastic writer.

  • @MenOfLetters That sounds great but, alas, synching is not something I am particularly skilled at.

    Wanking in the shut room of the psyche

  • If this clip was any darker there would have been no point filming it. Fascinating though.

  • @cigolone1: I smell the Jew everyday kindred for I'm married to a flame-haired Hungarian Jewess. And she smells wonderful. Better than most girls I've tumbled on the bed anyway. If the one you dated had a bad case of halitosis, may I suggest that you look for someone without curry breath? Genocide is never the answer to smelliness. And if you can't land a babe, I'm more than happy to spread your bottom cheeks and discharge myself manfully. Just drop me your number.
