“What is a Pocalypse?”

In this less-than-five-minute-long video — brought to my attention by Alex Barclay — the noted British television personality and public intellectual Philomena Cunk examines the End of All Things via (among other tools) an interview with Dr. Brian Cox, who is not only an Advanced Fellow in particle physics at the University of Manchester’s School of Physics and Astronomy but the former keyboardist for the bands Dare and D:ream.  One of D:ream’s hits was a piece titled “Things Can Only Get Better,” which was used as a theme song by the Labour Party during the 1997 British elections.
