I must just say how good I thought The Entire Universe was last night. It was a lovely little romp through a subject that intrigues us all, and it was good to see Eric Idle still has that kind of piss-taking charm we love him for. Only Idle could do a show on cosmology as a musical, and do it so well. I love how they constantly took the piss out of brian cox. Of course, having seen Monty Python Live, I knew idle and cox have a history of working together – they are actually good friends. Indeed, I was wondering whether last night’s show would include The Galaxy Song from Python (given the subject of the program, it would seem an obvious choice) and indeed it did, at the end. It was a pity they couldn’t involve Steven Hawking a bit more, but I really liked the inclusion of warwick Davis in this. It was a great little show though, and I think I learned quite a bit. For example, I now have a marginally better grasp of just how big the universe is, and indeed I now know that there might be other universes beyond our own. I thought it was a lovely little romp through spacetime, at the same time silly, informative, profound and very entertaining.
