    Here's my idea: Give Alexei Sayle and Tim Minchin a whole lot of money to make a weekly television show.

    i think to that sheep thing, directly before and after the jump wouldnt there be a greater force acting on the floor as the sheep pushes down before leaving the ground and then lands once more. That extra force would create extra fuel consumption so it would have no effect. I think.

But it is apparent, although admittedly not obvious, that people were sayind the darndest things for entertainment. Like troll science.

      I doubt he was supposed to represent the physics faculty. It's rather light-hearted fun. In fact, none of these audience members seem to genuinely aspire to claim the title of a genius. It's just how the show works. Like scripted improv.
      For instance, that one man suggesting that lorries carrying budgies make the budgies fly during transport to reduce the load on the lorry. Which is hilarious and bizarre. Physics Andrew says at 7:17 : "I'm gonna say no. But then, I haven't done the module of budgie aerodynamics. I've got a lot to learn."
      Bloke isn't being sincere. It's all just taking the piss all in the name of entretaînement.

    Wow, series 2 was a mess. The first series had potential, but this was all over the place. Alexis Sayle looked so depressed at the situation. Tim Minchin gave up trying to be funny, as soon as he realised how wasted his efforts would be on it. Dave Gorman is a comedy legend, but you wouldn't tell from this. I think it was a blessing that it ended before too many people even noticed it, and Dave Gorman ended up writing and starring in the the absolute classic-in-the-making Modern Life Is Goodish.

    While its true that genius comes from Latin, the plural version (Genii) is only applied when using the word in its original meaning, that is, a spirit of some kind. So if you are talking about people who are intelligent, its Genius, and if you are talking about spirits, its Genii.
