I had difficulties locating, then broke it up into bbc.co.uk, called up main channel, then put in a search for 'The Infinite Monkey Cage'. Bingo. Huge fun, 100 programmes to choosefrom.

Can't believe Cox is 50 yrs old. He looks like 24'ish ! Fun scientist -

sorry about the link, you did a great 'workaround'. I'll be very interested in the Antibiotics one. Good for those winter days, as scats says, so many great programmes on R4 and World Service (my nightime companion, trouble is I get so interested I forget to go to sleep...) I think Brian Cox is probably an alien whose lifespan is measured in 1.000s of years!

[scats]

Love this programme but always manage to miss it, it's at strange times. We have them all on i-player ready for a cold dark winter day.

[Ruadh in reply to scats]

I live in France - can't get iPlayer...nuisance. We are 'banned' from receiving. 'Believe' there may be a way round it, but, requires a whole load of equipment...

[scats in reply to Ruadh]

Shame. I'm with slowdown great fan of radio 4 and world service, except with me if its interesting I'm guaranteed to fall asleep. I've lost count of the number of comedy programs I missed the end of.

[piglette in reply to scats]

Like me, they say we are going to talk about such and such and I think great then I miss it!

A sign of being relaxed...

God, I wish I understood British humour!!!!! American's just are not wired for it! The science parts were interesting... thanks for posting!

[Slowdown in reply to Hidden]

We all need some mysteries in life, Melissa! At least you've spelt humour 'properly'

[Hidden in reply to Slowdown]

Hahahahahahaha, HURRAY to the mysteries of life... one of them being, British Humour! I resisted for years, and then finally changed my Language Setting Preference to British English, because I got sick of being "corrected" every single time I tried to use a "z!"
