The two Brian Coxs’ story about checking into the same hotel is today’s funniest thing
We were already loving BBC Breakfast on Friday when they brought together Professor Brian Cox and actor Brian Cox to sit on the same sofa.

Much loved, often discussed, but rarely seen together!
But then it got even better when Cox – the actor – told the story of trying to check into a hotel where the other Brian Cox – the spaceman – was also booked in.
And it’s surely the best 50 seconds you’ll spend today.

Glorious!
‘I know neither of you, I don’t watch television.’
And here are our favourite things people said about it.

BBC Breakfast booked both Brian Coxes into the same hotel, causing utter confusion. Absolutely amazing. pic.twitter.com/8U1XT5zBp0

This is utterly delightful. Incidentally, they are both brilliant guests on Full Disclosure. One already released, one coming soon. https://t.co/wDubRPaeEf

I think the official plural is Brians Cox…

Surely this is going to create a tear in the time space continuum? https://t.co/cr9C87DHtl

Humanity can send a probe into interstellar space, but can’t book two people called Brian Cox into a hotel.
Amazing.

I wish they’d have shared a room and then became best friends and this was a sitcom.

Last word to @ProfBrianCox.
I’m on @BBCBreakfast in the next hour talking about Black Holes – with the ‘other’ Brian Cox. One day I will tell the full story about me trying to check into the hotel last night. Confusion doesn’t begin to describe it. pic.twitter.com/mFoMOyYgbK
