What on Earth is Wrong With Gravity?

Particle physicist Dr. Brian Cox believes that the answer to the meaning of the universe lies in gravity. On a road trip across the USA, Brian fires lasers at the moon in Texas and goes wild in the desert in Arizona. He encounters the bending of space and time at a maximum security military base and tries to detect ripples in our reality in the swamps of Louisiana.

My first downvote ever. Hope this guy is better at physics and music than at hosting a science documentary. I usually love science documentaries, and I'm not that demanding. But here the treatment is so superficial, the interviews so inane that you really have to wonder why he bothered going to all these places in the first place (pining for his touring days?). My impression is that he's way to self-absorbed, not really caring about his audience.

i agree, though it could just be shyness (it is often mistaken as other things).
i really didn't get anything from this docu, if he was going to attempt presenting one why didn't he do one on his area of expertise, particle physics (though when he did talk about that kind of thing here he seemed to find it hard stringing two words together!)

there's a list of his papers here for proof that he probably is a really good physicist:
