God is dead. Long live the Mandelbrot.
Professor Al-Khalili’s ‘Secret Life of Chaos’ is one of the finest explanations you’ll ever likely see on television, dispelling the human fantasy of the existence of God forever.
Perhaps only 200,00 people will get see this very smart, yet simply presented set of ideas directed by Nic Stacey and Furnace Productions for the BBC.
Chaos Theory is a mindbending, counterintuitive and for many people a deeply troubling idea. But Professor Al-Khalili reveals the science behind much of beauty and structure in the natural world and discovers that far from it being magic or an act of God, it is in fact an intrinsic part of the laws of physics. Amazingly, it turns out that the mathematics of chaos can explain how and why the universe creates exquisite order and pattern.
Professor Al-Khalili, (now officially my second favourite TV Presenter) has one of the smartest pay-off lines on any science programme I’ve ever seen. “I can scientifically guarantee that I have know way of telling you what the future will hold”. That’s chaos.
The official webiste of Professor Jim Al-Khalili is www.al-khalili.co.uk

The Real Destiny Angel?
OK. So how long has it taken to allow girls to fly jet fighters? Apparently the Red Arrows now has a ‘lady pilot’ here on the BBC.
If you’re feeling nostalgic, Captain Scarlet and Destiny Angel are in action HERE.
Destiny Angel is now in her 70’s.

The Czech Bog Monster & the Tourist
Thanks Ben at Beef for sending me this fantastic bit of telly of Czech musician and comedian Ivan Mládek!
The song follows a man driving through Moravia, and finding a village terrorized by a bog monster named Jozin which eats mainly tourists from Prague. The man asks the mayor of the village to give him a crop duster plane to defeat the monster, and the mayor agrees, promising half of the collective farm and the hand of his daughter in marriage if the man is successful. The man takes the crop duster into the air, and defeats Jozin, trapping him, and selling him to a zoo.
You can find more about them on Wikipedia here.

Conspiracy anyone? Try 'theyrule.net'
TheyRule.net scans information on the internet and finds out who sits in the chief boardrooms in the biggest companies in the USA.
You can drag companies or businessmen into the space and TheyRule can work out how close they are linked. It’s great for developing conspiracy theories and is designed in such a neat way. Check it out…

a fascinating note from my doctor
I stumbled across this fascinating description about the small NHS Health Centre in Montpelier, Bristol.
It’s worth scanning down to the midway point of Dr Stefan Cembrowicz’s article. It’s an amazing insight into living and working in one of the most vibrant cities in the UK, from homes that are resolutely additive-free, to those with cases of female circumcision. But most welcome, is the heartening professional fascination from my own Doctor.
That reminds me I must pick up some more Khat leaves next time I pop down.

Contains Violence (and Penguins!) at the Lyric
…well if you want experience something new, Contains Violence at the Lyric Hammersmith could be for you.
Watch the drama unfold from the from the roof of the Lyric, whilst a psychotic performance is played out in the office buildings across the square. With more than a hint of Rear Window, you can watch through the binoculas provided and tune into the action with a very effective bluetooth headset.
Wrap up warm though, maybe take a small snifter for comfort, and oh, look out for the Penguins!

Are you feeling Listen Against
And if you Charlie Brooker fans like fucked up radio, here it comes. It’s kinda edgy at first ‘cos the BBC ’listen again’ service includes the news before the programme, but stick with it.
Listen Against then does your head in. (Look for the ‘listen again’ button on the right of the BBC page.) At first I thought how can the BBC do this, then I thought, mais oui, it’s aimed at me. I’m lovin’ it.
