It'll be a blast
Vic Reeves to host Brainiac
Vic Reeves is to be the new presenter of Sky One’s show Brainiac: Science Abuse.
He will replace Top Gear's Richard Hammond, who has hosted four series of the stunt-based programme in the new year. Hammond is quitting after signing an exclusive deal with the BBC.
Reeves said he was "absolutely thrilled" at hosting the 12-episode series. ‘Science is my God and my ultimate goal in Brainiac is to destroy the moon with dynamite,’ he added.
Sky's Emma Read said: ‘We're excited that Vic is now taking us into a new era. His anarchic brand of humour will be perfect for the show.’Published: 14 Sep 2006
