Astronomer Brian Cox ridicules BBC over ET health & safety advice

Brian Cox criticized the BBC for excessive health and safety caution after a live attempt to communicate with a newly identified planet tied to Stargazing Live and the Jodrell Bank telescope targeting Threapleton Holmes B was blocked, arguing it undermined the pursuit of detecting an intelligent signal on air, while the episode also floated a prize for a viewer who identifies signs of life on Mars and a BBC spokesman noted light-hearted discussions about how organizations might react to such a discovery, highlighting the clash between ambitious public science programming and bureaucratic caution in facing potential extraterrestrial contact.
