I was sorely disappointed by this series. Granted I just turned it on when he started speaking about the Big Bang. Brian made an explosive statement that they now have a theory about before time began - and that is as far as that went - very hollow. The show just went on to an explanation of the already well known theory of the Big Bang, the only difference was that Brian referred to it as a speck. The show is filled up with as many adjectives, metaphors and long winded fancifully colourful language with a fact strewn in once and occasionally. Not to mention the tried effect of whimsical irrelevant music trying yo be ethereal - please, NO! I couldn't watch the whole episode as much as I love a good universe documentary. This was closer to a frustrating art student armed with a thesaurus explaining science in a most annoying way and when unable to make it inspiring they throw in the worst annoying music ever.
