SciencePunk on TV
October 6th, 2007
Somewhat grossly exaggerated as a “science journalist”, I appeared opposite Kylie Morris on More4 news this evening, struggling in vain to defend the Ig Nobel prizes. You can watch my performance here (I haven’t plucked up the courage yet). In my defence I was drafted in at the last minute, blah blah blah. A career as a vacuous talking head beckons.
Also, the Green Room was filled with coke and hookers, so it wasn’t all bad.
** Incidentally, many people have pointed out that the space programme wasn’t responsible for the invention of Teflon and non-stick frying pans. My bad. I’ll have to debunk myself on these pages next week.

That’s awesome! I thought it was a good performance. Perhaps you could relaunch tomorrow’s world?
Coke and hookers? What, no pepsi?

Nice one, it looked like Kylie Morris was coming on to you :). Have you considered a career seducing newsreaders to the cause of badscience?

Can’t find a video link…

It’s buried at the end of the blurb about sword swallowers, although I imagine it will expire soon anyway. I’d rip it but More4 uses nasty Windows software that makes sharing difficult. Which is what it’s supposed to do, I guess.

You’re on my Freeview box dude. Should you ever pluck up the courage we could have a ‘Frank on TV’ party. I imagine it would be a bit like the parties people threw for the last episode of Friends, but more fun clearly!

You did well.
I don’t understand why they had to do multiple takes - just use more than one camera, fools!

Ah, wrong appearance. I see now.
