Described by The Times as 'the world's most enthusiastic man' and, more flatteringly, as 'an expert on everything from pop music to astrophysics', Quentin Cooper has also been acclaimed by the Daily Mail for his 'wit and enthusiasm [which] can envliven the dullest of topics'.
Quentin Cooper presents the most listened to science series in the UK, Material World on BBC Radio 4. He also fronts the recurring technology-in-action documentary series Connect and is one of the regular presenters for Pick of the Week. Despite his distinct lack of qualification in the area, he recently made a one-off programme called Hairy Stories, about the science of hair.
Most Sunday mornings he appears on the Michael Parkinson show on Radio 2 to discuss film, TV and radio. He is also film critic for BBC One's Breakfast programme and The DVD Collection on BBC Four. He presented the series New Scientist Television for the Discovery Channel and Science Fix for BBC Four.
Quentin works regularly with leading science organisations such as the British Council and the Royal Society, hosts the annual X-Change debates for the British Association for the Advancement of Science, and both directs and hosts science communication workshops around the world.
