I don't think it's that I'm not trying hard enough. I think it's that Mr Cox has finally reached the limits of the scientific information that can be understood by a mere layman like me in an armchair.

And above it all, the crashing computer graphics and the loud music and the strange wailing noises like a cat caught in a mangle. And our Brian talking in a slow, quiet voice as if he's reading the Old Testament. (Sometimes he is.)
Take episode one. Before the universe was formed, there was nothing but threads of dark matter holding space together like a web. And, slowly, the hydrogen atoms got their acts together, and ....... hang on, Brian, hydrogen atoms? I thought you said there was nothing there?
Ain't no time to wonder why, whoopee, we all gotta fly. In comes the wailing and the rock soundtrack and the Doctor Who graphics, and whoosh, we're off again. There were definitely times when I'd rather have been watching Rimmer and Lister and Kryten. At least they had an answer to the problem with the white hole.
