I watched the first episode: destiny.

I didn't think it was as good as his other stuff, not as many WTF moments. Although I was nursing a raging hangover at the time, which may have affected my viewing pleasure.

About to watch the second one now.

A supernova lasts for only a few seconds.

Literally, not relatively.

That's nuts. I always though that a supernova would be quick in relative terms, like a few gzillion years or something.

Fucksticks! End of the world won't come in time to stop us being relegated. Although, it's making me think twice about the season ticket renewal

Seems he's accounted for division 4 so you should be OK.

Love this bit:

Quote
Mr Camping's argument has convinced Adam Larsen, 32, from Kansas. He is among scores of "ambassadors" who have quit their jobs to drive around America in Family Radio vehicles warning of the impending apocalypse. "My favourite pastime is raccoon hunting," Mr Larsen told CNN. "I've had to give that up. But this task is far more important."

The end of days is apparently more important than racoon hunting in his strangle little world.

Just watched a couple of Horizon programmes with him my housemate had recorded - interesting enough, although I spent most of it in disbelief that he's in his forties.

His wife is a bit bitter about him becoming so famous.

Do any of you follow Cox on twitter - does come across as something of a smug argumentative arse.

I'd thought that being argumentative would be a fundamental requirement of doing what he does.

I thought his joke about a 2012 series called "The Wonders of The Apocalypse" was pretty funny.
