The Brian Cox effect.
Professor Brian Cox seems to be getting everywhere these days. I don't blame him for that, but I heard recently that his popularity may have backfired a little.Apparently, his fame has attracted a lot of interest from students wanting to study Astrophysics with him as the professor , but because of his work in TV and other areas, he only gives a few 'guest' lectures these days.

I saw that experiment Alan, he giggled when he spit into the test tube because he missed and I'm sure he wiped it on his trousers

Re: The Brian Cox effect.
I like that young man, he's cheerful and presents all the technical stuff in layman's language, even I can understand some of it, not like those toffee nose gits they used to have in the early days of TV science programs, long may we have him.I thought at first glance George you were on about the actor Brian Cox, another very talented man.
After a dose of vodka followed by salty chips last night I had a hard job separating my body from the mattress this morning, she had to throw washing up liquid over me to get me out of the bed.
