How many times did they have to yell "cut!" and wait for the scientist to stop laughing?

As well as the priceless interchanges with the "experts", I particularly love the subtle but brutal parody of documentary narrators and their clichéd scripts and imagery. Vacuous truisms, faux meaningfulness, museum shots, cosmological shots, the heartfelt "walkies" towards camera, the funereal music ... and then, finally, the absurdist, facade-breaking punchline which cracks the TV wall of pretence.

This whole series is a tribute to James Burke and “Connections”. It is truly brilliant in concept, writing and delivery.

3:42 - Her concerned backwards glance breaks me every-time, like she's saying to the audience, "Y'all are hearing this crazy **** too, right?"
