Did you see the boring one a few years ago, on robotics, delieverd by the boring brummy professor? This one is better.
It's not patronising; it's for kids (which is how I manage to keep up!)

Hey, whats this all about? Is this a TV prog??

stevemcol

Yes, it's run every year. Used to be on BBC but it's been relegated to channel 5 now. Subject this year is maths.

The lectures come from the Royal Institution in London. Very historic. I believe the first lecture was given by Michael Faraday.

That was Kevin Warwick. He is the one that had a chip implanted under his skin and seems to get on the t*ts of a lot of people for some reason.

Ah, Captain Cyborg. Yea, he thinks himself as some kind of cyborg because he put a door entry tag (same as any standard RFID tag) under his skin.
The Register certainly don't think very highly of him. I can see why
