Supernova
Anyone watching it? The science is total b0ll0cks but despite that I'm really beginning to enjoy it. It's great to see a comedy written with a few intellectual jokes as well as a bit of toilet humour. Opinions?

Tuesdays, 22.00, BBC2. Stars Rob Bryden as a British astronomer who ups sticks and moves to an observatory in the Australian outback. It's not 'weak at the knees' funny but it's intelligent and always amusing.
It's the 5th episode tomorrow but if you get the chance make sure you see the second. Our hero is convinced he's seen the face of God while observing a wormhole (I said the science was b0ll0cks, didn't I) and comes over all spiritual. It turns out to be the Doctor Who title sequence that accidentally got mixed in with the telescope signal. "Be fair", the astronomers say, "If it had been Tom Baker we'd have recognised him".
