Last night I watched Brian Cox (the actor, not the physicist) being interviewed by Stephen Sackur on BBC’s Hardtalk.

He was speaking from his home in Upstate New York and I have to say that — out of the hundreds of domestic settings we are becoming used to seeing on our screens — this has to be one one of the nicest looking.

But it was the interview itself that was inspiring. He is a thoughtful and compassionate man. Watch it if you have the time — though you might want to start at the 9 min mark:
