Anyone been watching this show on BBC One? Strikes me as a cross between Mythbusters and Brainiac: Science Abuse. It's interesting but not quite as fun as it should be in my opinion.
Bang Goes The Theory

I like the things they're doing. The rescue sub was fascinating, especially since they were giving a rudimentary lesson on the physics involved. Similarly the building walk was very good. Do you remember Science Shack? It's a bit like that, since they do actually explain what's going on. However they don't explain enough so there's a lot of ohmigosh wide-eyed amazement. The presenters are too irritating to make it really enjoyable.
^ I'm not sure on Science Shack, it might be something I have vague memories of.
But I agree it's interesting stuff, but the presenters are irritating and OTT which stops it being as fun as it should be.

Caught the first episode. It's alright I suppose... I must admit that the vortex cannon was pretty cool, but some of the other segments were kind of bland.
They also do that obnoxious thing where two people pretend to talk in the background while the other person presents the next topic. I don't know why, but it annoys me almost as much as the crappy "skits" they do on Mythbusters.

I think that might be what I dislike the most, the falseness of it all.Caught the first episode. It's alright I suppose... I must admit that the vortex cannon was pretty cool, but some of the other segments were kind of bland.

I invent my own dialogs:
"That camera whore is such a fucking wanker."
"Yeah, fuck him and his fucking canon."

Hah, I guess it's a punny title.
Just to clear that up, wasn't Big Bang Theory picked up for 2 seasons?
Oh yeah.
I thought Vic Reeves took over and it was still going?
Just fixed that for ya :P
As for Bang Goes the Theory, I enjoy the guy whos name I cant remember but is actually the talented one who builds stuff, it seems like he has an genuine enthusiasm for what he's doing.
Dallas, well, he was ok for the one series of the Gadget show he was on, and was a much better fit there than he is on Bang Goes the Theory in my opinion.
Liz on the other hand, didnt she host a series of Tomorrows World way back when? Or some other gadgety futurist science show? She's alright, on her own, but as for the team, they really don't look comfortable together, and not in the argumentative way which made early Mythbusters fun, but just in the non clicking at all way.
