Radio Times review

Television loves birthdays and anniversaries, so how much more exciting can it get than actually having an excuse to celebrate one of its own milestones with a special season of programmes? BBC Two is 50 years old this year (surely not, doesn't she look young?) and the festivities will be sprinkled across the schedules throughout the year.

Here Dara O'Briain and Pointless's Richard Osman hosts a 50th birthday quiz where celebrities are asked questions about BBC Two stars and programmes across the years. Guests include Hugh Dennis, Hairy Biker Dave Myers and Professor Cox.

Stand-Up comic Robin Ince isn't a name dropper. So Martin Walker will do some for him.

He's currently touring his show, Robin Ince: In and Out of His mind.

Eric Idle rewrites Galaxy Song with Professor Brian Cox

Monty Python star Eric Idle wrote the original 'The Galaxy Song' for the 1983 Monty Python's The Meaning of Life movie but got the physics in the lyrics totally wrong. He asked Cox to correct them and the new version is premiering during Brian's talks in Melbourne and Sydney.

It is perhaps not the host's career priority, but BBC2's The Rob Brydon Show has quietly grown into one of TV's best chat shows. I particularly enjoyed his latest guest Prof Cox's anecdote about Kate Moss approaching him at a party to ask about particle physics. Not the kind of particles Kate has been known to find out about at parties, of course.
