This is a fantastic giveaway! I’ve entered the contest and really hope that I am fortunate enough to be one of the lucky five chosen. Thanks for the opportunity to participate!
The series is worth having just for the imagery, as well as Brian Cox’s infectious enthusiasm and sense of wonder.
I presume the blurb under the video is from the press release? It should be “by renowned physicist”, or alternatively “by Brian Cox, physicist of renown”
