BBC iPlayer - Wonders of the Solar System: Empire of the Sun
I don't usually like watching Brian Cox, but was fairly interesting, and the more physics / space programmes on TV the happier I am. On the whole I found it a little disappointing.
Some more detail about how the sun actually works would have been good, rather than a lot of dumbing down & footage showing him swanning off around the world on exotic holidays going "oh look a total eclipse of the sun" or "oh wow aurora borealis" or "look at me standing above a waterfall" or "I'm driving a range rover in 111 F heat" etc
Sooner listen to Michio Kaku or Max Tegmark anyday of the week
