I'm soglad to be able to see these programmes in preparation for the series beginning tomorrow. Thanks for putting it here. It has that "WoW!" quality about it.

[@rachelroberts56]

i wish this came back😭

[@moodypa]

Cheers for posting these !

[@jamesellis398]

more programmes like this please bbc

[@Mayna00]

I really liked Dara. He was the layperson to Cox's ''professor'. Makes it easier to understandl.

[@Jackalz123]

Its for the purpose of television, he asks the questions and portrays the beliefs that the average man would ask/think. To be wise one must be humble.

[@jimbobur]

Haha! I saw this program before I came to Manchester university and now Tim O'Brien (the guy talking about pulsars) is my physics tutor! :)

[@nickten11]

Loved it. Thank you so much for uploading this. Can't get BBC in my "area".

[@Hannahmacnz]

I think Dara is the perfect person for this. He did cosmology in university. He isn't the ignorant outsider like Wossy, but helps connect it not the average person

[@Hannahmacnz]

Crazy to see "Orion" from the point of view of the Northern Hemisphere. So used to it being a Pot.

[@ThePowerV3]

O briain studied mathematics and theoretical physics at university and was the head of its oldest debating society

[@Motojournalism]

Boards of Canada, Kirk Degorgio and David Axelrod on the soundtrack? Damn this series has some good music!

[@garethlawton5278]

He is asking those questions to so that it can be explained to the viewers... Trust me, Mr Ross is actually fairly intelligent. He knew the answer.

[@christobean1997]

now you know when you see them you will be able to tell people what they are when i first found out about them it blew my mind

[@Mayna00]

I know, love him on shows like QI! Read his book, too. Very perceptive. But he still manages to make things a lot easier to understand =)

[@jimjim2000ify]

[@InfantryCommander]

[@Chubbz69able]

[@Jinda89]

[@ExpoFever]

[@ajwade]

The Plough is an asterism, not a constellation.

[@MrSauga]

What do you think of those alleged moon astronauts not showing the stars on camera or anything. Were they really there?

[@Toasty644]
