Professor Brian Cox’s Wonders… series are among the most fascinating and accessible science programmes the BBC has ever produced, showcasing the astounding beauty and awe-inspiring marvels of life, the universe and everything. However, there are no cows too sacred for YouTube uploaders to slaughter – and here, the onetime D:Ream keyboardist is recast as an … >
Tragically, the original version of this genius piece of filth that blends Doctor Who’s New Earth with pervy David Tennant drama Secret Smile is no longer online, so we have to console ourselves with this brief extract.
The funniest video mash-ups are the ones where the audio and visuals are starkly – ludicrously – incongruous, yet are synced together impeccably. A fine example is this vintage reimagining of Sesame Street in the style of Martin Scorsese, which is undoubtedly brought to you today by the letter ‘F’…
It’s hard to say whether this is harmless family entertainment or something more sinister: a musical finger puppet show voiced by more people than you could fit inside the average Punch and Judy tent. Do they all live inside this makeshift TARDIS together, putting on shows for the nation and then bedding down for finger-based … >
If you thought jetpacks were the stuff of a madman’s dream – or the preserve of James Bond’s Q branch– think again. In a video that any vertigo sufferers should probably avoid at all costs, Yves ‘Jetman’ Rossi is dropped from a helicopter and successfully completes a solo flight over Rio de Janeiro.

In the frequently po-faced world of Game of Thrones, a little light relief from the grimness is sometimes required. Here, sounding suspiciously like Chunk from The Goonies confessing his youthful misdeeds to the Fratellis, Tyrion makes an admission that will linger long in the seven kingdoms of Westeros – and presumably give them something to … >
Before Kiefer Sutherland became Touch’s Martin Bohm – reluctant, family-oriented hero with a hoarse voice who whispers ‘Dammit!’ like no other man on the Earth – he was Jack Bauer, the reluctant family-oriented hero with a hoarse voice who whispered ‘Dammit!’ like no other man on Earth… only with a teenage daughter who made his … >
Although the majority of the world’s inhabitants accepted it was a big ball spinning in space many years ago, it’s rare we actually get to see the Earth for the vast, living mass of energy that it is. Still images of the planet are all very well, but, they never capture the sense of its … >
