Vic's a Brainiac!
Comedian Vic Reeves has been signed up as the new presenter of the Sky One show Brainiac: Science Abuse
This means that Reeves will be taking over from Top Gear's Richard Hammond, who hosted the first four series of Brainiac, but who is now involved in new projects.
The series, which starts in the new year, will still feature that waste of space from Big Brother Jon 'charisma' Tickle and actress Charlotte Hudson.
According to the BBC website, Reeves said he was "absolutely thrilled" at the prospect of hosting the 12-episode series, which seems to be entirely based on blowing things up.
"Science is my God and my ultimate goal in Brainiac is to destroy the moon with dynamite," Reeves said.
Emma Read, Sky's commissioning editor for factual entertainment, added that "we thank Richard Hammond for all his fantastic work on the series and we're excited that Vic is now taking us into a new era. His anarchic brand of humour will be perfect for the show."
I know that Richard Hammond has just had an accident and is now thankfully recovering, but i'm really going to miss him on Brainiac: Science Abuse, he's one of the best presenters currently on television in my opinion. I was really hoping for a new series of ITV1's The 5 O Clock show, but I think it got bad reviews (even though it was infinity better than ITV1's The Sharon Osbourne Show.. thank goodness The New Paul O'Grady Show is back!)
