      Ha ha firstly big bang theory is not about science. It is about the life of stereo typical american physicist which is mocked very well by the authors of the series. I would encourage people interested in science to watch it and make sure they become lot cooler than the characters shown in the series. I would say in my entire career so far I have met only 1 person who remote resembled “Dr Sheldon Cooper” character (It is funny to encounter such characters). So 95% of the time you will find that physicists are actually quite cool people

      Haha! I have met a few people like this! But this is not really what scientist are like. However, I do like to watch it because some of the jokes are funny when you understand them. I laugh and my mum just looks confused!

      Not really – theres not a lot of science in the program and Sheldon is just too annoying to watch. He gives us other physicists a very bad name for being nerds!

      Watch something with Brian Cox in it instead, you’ll be certain to learn a lot more science.

      Yes I would. Compared to most of the other tv shows it raises awareness of science in a funny way. Although there is not much science happening in the show – they do a magnificent and funny job of mixing science with daily life subjects. The smart thing is they are right! There is so much science around us in daily life but no one – explains or not many are aware of them 🙂
      Bazzziingaaaa! 😀
