It's almost as if everything that has happened in 2016 has been leading up to this moment.
Once again Charlie Brooker is back with his unique look back at the year and this week he looks back on the ups and downs of 2016.
Helping Charlie to make sense of the year's news, TV and online phenomena is Philomena Cunk. In her most challenging interview yet, Philomena tries to understand what it is Professor Brian Cox is actually saying.
Elliot Gonzalez, I Talk Telly, 27th December 2016Review: The Entire Universe
Both the sense of wonder and sense of humour are undimmed here.
Steve Bennett, Chortle, 27th December 2016This is, approximately, Monty Python's Galaxy Song extrapolated into an hour-long special. It's a collaboration between Eric Idle and Brian Cox, hung on the somewhat laboured conceit that Cox thinks he is presenting an academic lecture but has, in fact, been roped into a glitzy musical. It has its moments and, naturally, there's a "hilarious" Uranus pun. Robin Ince, Warwick Davis and Noel Fielding also star.

Noel Fielding as a shiny gold Bee Gee singing about gravity? That's just one of the many delights of this truly odd programme which mixes music, comedy and science in a way that has rarely been done before. The Sky At Night this ain't.

British Comedy Guide, 23rd August 2016Robert Newman: The Brain Show review
Dissing bad science, capitalists and Brian Cox, Newman's low-octane cabinet of neuroscientific curiosities has nonconformist bite.
