Professor Brian Cox has been on the Scilly Isles filming for a three part series called ‘Science Britannica’ celebrating British achievements of the Britannica which is due to air in May. He was here to tell the story of the marine chronometer, invented by John Harrison following the infamous wreck of the Association, in which the admiralty lost four ships on the rocks around the islands. The filming on the Isles of Scilly was the final day of almost a year’s work.
He says he loved his trip it and is hoping to come back in the summer with his family.
