The BBC have confirmed the broadcast details of Professor Brian Cox's The Science of Doctor Who. The programme will be shown on BBC2 on Thursday 14th November @ 9pm.
Brian takes an audience, with the help of celebrity guests, on a journey into the wonderful universe of the Doctor, in a specially-recorded programme from the lecture theatre of the Royal Institution of Great Britain.
He reveals the science behind the spectacle and explains the physics that allows Doctor Who to travel through space and time. Fun, but filled with real science, it's a special night for Who fans as well as anyone with a thirst for understanding.
Brian is in the unique position of knowing the Doctor's universe inside out as well as the reality behind the drama. When the TARDIS travels through time and space, he understands the physics involved. And when it comes to life on other planets, Brian knows the real science that could prove extra-terrestrial life might just really exist in our galaxy.
