Radio Oxford Allison Dawes report Thames Valley Police confirmed they're investigating an aggravated burglary in malls with that happened on Monday last week it says those inside the house were threatened but no one's been injured and no arrests have been made police aren't giving out any further information but it's been widely reported the home belonged to a high profile crypto currency trader it's thought 30 year old Danny Aston was threatened with a gun and forced to transfer the virtual currency Bitcoin the currency traders company Aston digital currency is is registered to the address in the Oxfordshire village it's important leading our local councils doesn't just become a role for people who can afford to do it that's the message from Councillor Susan Brown who will later be sworn in to succeed Bob Price as leader of Oxford City Council councillor price had said the search for a new leader had been very difficult because of the low pay involved but Ms Brown says she will continue her current job part time and feels the roles can be balanced common with the 2 most recent leaders the city council and about half of the leaders of the district councils around here I will continue to work but not full time I think it's important actually that we continue to have a foot in the workplace it gives a different experience to bring to the role the prime minister is facing more criticism from our own M.P.'s of her leadership and strategy one of them Johnny Mercer says to reason I only has a limited time to dispel the doubts but the conservative m.p. Been a felony says the government does have a positive story to tell yes except his point that yes delivery is not is and is is more important than just saying something but we're actually doing those things let's work with the cabinet ministers work with the departments and let's show the country that we can deliver the changes this country needs looking elsewhere now automation and globalization may lead to 15 percent of jobs in Oxford disappearing That's the warning from a think tank which says retail customer service and warehouse.

Radio Oxford news it's 3 minutes past to. Thank you very much on the back with more news in an hour coming up we are going back to school to see what this little darlings what So primary school this week has been. About today but not before we hear my chat with comedian Robin in us to talk about also as we talk about what it's like touring and about the special relationship with his best and podcast Professor Brian Cox. The man. Whose wife. Was shocked. I was shopping. Cart. You get the smuts away from. I don't mind. If you're. Acting. Like. A man. Says Why I'm sure it's a. Little span of attention but let's see. What a fight. Now. Back down the alley. Little back. If you're. Going. Anywhere. Paul Simon You can call me Al but I tend to answer to Les just got 8 passed to you on b.b.c. Radio now you can hear my chat with Robin in he's a comedian he's a cult presenter of Radio falls infant monkey cage with Professor Brian Cox and he's bringing his stand up to the theater Chipping Norton this Friday and it was funny when we were deciding where to have this conversation Robinson It was almost farcical One room had a very talkative African Grey parrot another room had a very chatty dog and he was looking after his dog sitting his dance dog so he decided to change phones to go up step as and it was just like the beautiful beginnings of new sitcom it was really didn't and Robinson said back touring his 1st solo stand up gig in fact in 3 years so I put it to him I said You famously said Huge never do you stand up again what do you see what I said was This will be my intention but I believed it would fail don't worry I already have no faith in myself even if even at the time of retirement Yeah about 3 years ago ecologist is one of those moments where you start to look at the cracks in your sanity and realise you might be able to fall through them I've got to stop finding myself waking up in budget hotels going well my now where my this morning what town I'm in what country or mine so I took a bit of a break and then of course what happened was in an in much at stake of right Brian Cox Well why don't you just come in and always be instead so instead I went off and did it all. Particle physics and the up at Wembley Arena and we're going up and bed next to him instead in the you know I mean I read every much the local wife radio for science communication which sadly just how clearly you know it's Roberts into my concern he went. Solo I'd love that. So what can we expect on this till it's kind of about love often death you know isn't everything. A cool pragmatic insanity says a lovely line by it's actually both by the science fiction author Philip k. Dick and also the Langley the famed psychometrist who said sometimes the correct reaction to reality is to go totally insane that was a kind of starting point I thought at the moment I know a lot of people feel that the world has gone insane if you look historically we've normally been in a very kind of weaponry position of sanity as a race as human race so I thought I would do a show about the things that techniques are to me and a lot of that is is actually all I go to art galleries all the time some of it is about children Keef and some of it is about the best goat that I've ever seen oh gallery I went to an exhibition and there was there was a goat right in the middle of it had been turned into a decorative piece of art and it was absolutely fantastic and I loved it so this is in fact the inspiration for the whole show was going to this exhibition. By an Oscar Robert Rauschenberg and looking at this goat and going somewhere I think I'm going to have to come up with a show so it's about that and it's a little bit about physics as well as a few stories about things like the level telescope and gravitational waves. And then I'll probably do some stupid impressions of Brian blessid and Brian Cox and if the other Brian stark and I think. Generally what happens he's come up with an idea I think that's what the idea is going to be and then I see another shiny thing and I run towards. Them venison calories Well you know that sounds really good set is one thing I found when I stopped doing solo stand up on White really quickly most of the realised 2 and a half hours yet night of running around shouting during impressions. And using your mind as acts of you can really judge that that was my role because some really good actors Yeah now I've had to buy Jane McCall D.V.D.'s and get like yes. So I can promise you is by the way I will not be wearing low. Cooks up suddenly realize just the mere thought that we've probably lost 5 ticket sales not be in lycra Well you would have gained 5 other ones 5 very different was but anyway so you studied English and drama going back and going back was think the 1st time did you get on on a stand up stage at Uni all that was before that years when I was about 18 years old. Stand up gig terrible to I mean I literally have my mind too I've got very good memory from my past but my mind is very trying to go on this Ok we've had Tali removed what happened on that 1st event there was a thing for some birthday party for one of my older sisters friends and some who are on the banks of the Thames and then every now and again I would but I tried I did sound of a couple of times before I went to university and it was always something I really wanted to do I was you know I was 10 years old when I 1st saw Rick mail on television and you know written Mailer lets you sell all those things and so huge lol and Hardy fan and it's just something I always wanted to do and I still sometimes find it weird when I think that you know 27 years of my life has been being a stand up almost every really the whole of my adult life has been being a stand up and sometimes I work with people I think wow I saw you when I was 15 years old when I state into a club and now I'm sitting next to on some radio 4 panel show you know it's a very it's always what I want to do oh fantastic So how did you bring science into your life or do you think like calling today's science is essentially just asking why. Well I think that it was about it's the excitement of curiosity you know like the excitement of the 1st time that you look at the rings of Saturn through a telescope it really is it's such a once and I put through 2 things happen One was our Remember there's a great line by the American comedian George Carlin who said that comedy is a very low although it's a very potent song and I start to think what shall I do with it more than just jokes and look. A lot of the kind of cynicism that was out there. And I was making kind of more passionate shows and I was just really interested in science because you said it is just asking questions I think a lot of comedians have that level of being assigned to Yes and what they don't have is the tenacity we all thought too lazy to dig underneath Switzerland and create a particle collider we you know these kind of just go look at that look at this why does that do this and that's why and I think one of the problems is in education very often when people talk science it becomes a can just become a selection of kind of numbers and what appears to be just facts. And that's by the way not the problem of the folks that it's I think a lot of times they just don't have the time to talk about the anecdotes that make science and understanding the universe so fabulous so resist the stories are so great and so wonderful and it also gives me an excuse to try and revise and try and learn about these things that every time I do a show about for the show about Nero songs for if I do a show about particle physics it means I have to spend 3 months sitting in a library trying to learn about these things or find it very exciting Wow that's really what I'm doing all my stand up and all my shows are kind of a Open University costars made for myself I would go on my course are open in small ways not checked off to Alki books and sunshine after the rain. We you know. Passed up. We used to go out when you were was I was since you. Love God so loved. Now Brooks sunshine off to the rain now back to my chat with comedian Robin and she's coming to chippy on a Friday and leave the science side of Robin stand up for just a moment and look at the sort of humanity some of the things I want to know is he a comedian who carries around a little notebook and write down that was a way to saying I just observe in my attic room I have a little attic room. It's not just in the Jane now except it's a husband the cat is kept in the act I think rather than the boy and I have just stuck stacks and stacks of postcards with that was scribbled on them with non sequiturs on with hard form sentences and all of these are so everywhere that I go I'm always kind of quite conscious of Oh that's an interesting thing and I want to tell people about that how can I get into a joke or how can I turn it into a retain so. Love I used to describe it and this is of course now of a very old way of saying it which was like a compilation tape but of course nowadays it's just a u.s.b. Stick was handed over to someone. That this thing is making my collections Yeah yeah it's Yet the exactly and it's that's what I'm doing is I'm trying to create a play list of things that are ideas and objects that excitement and interest me and I really wish other people knew about and sometimes people do know about you I mean that's the thing is I'm aware that some of the ideas I talk about out there ready but it's my hope is that at the end of a show people are still left with questions and the question isn't Why did I go and see that and that seemed to be a lot more money than I should have paid almost questions that they left with you know often I'll be in the bar afterwards and people come up to me and though a lot in fact when I was in Belfast 2 days ago someone came up to went on a really enjoyable stuff that will be rushing books go I've recently become an artist I was in my mid forty's and the 1st work I did was this enormous goat going to show you a picture of a wound you find out these things are all I guess scientists coming up to me and and saying oh you know what we're doing some brain scanning stuff we can we brain stick you in an f. M.r.i. And the Christmas lectures this year for instance my friend Sophie scull asked me you know will you come and pick one of my Christmas lectures and have a magnetic pulse to the left hand side of your brain to stop talking and I think she considered me to be the greatest challenge to be able to stop talking so you know I thought I sat and had a magnetic pulse to sort of my brain and went from doing job a lot from saying it was really going to slow the toes to dig aren't good Remember the and was unable to talk with incredible so I love getting involved in experiments as well all of these things and that's what I want to do is I want to kind of share the excitement of course sometimes that was one of the problems I think that's when I stopped when I saw the one stop doing stand up was I was putting out so much on stage that when I was finished being enthusiastic It's almost like a huge jump for months. He has now of this kind of you know incredible Dan but now . Now I think I've got the balance right what was the last thing you wrote on a postcard. The last word you know I'm actually in the midst of currently writing about the transformation of no fielding from himself to Alice Cooper to appear in a play I'm writing about the work the Mighty Boosh but that's because I'm not writing my show at the moment I'm writing a book about the psychology of comedy so that was the last thing on it but before that I was artifact on my my notebook down here of got something involving the talking poodles of Schopenhauer because the great philosopher Schopenhauer was King fan of poodles and I may well do again this won't be appearing in this show to I'm doing it but I may well do a monologue approval of why not. So as you are on to another one and we have found another one for you Brian blessid going through Lucian Freud exhibition that might make him say this is delightful This is like I've been receiving end of my very sort of infinite stage it's one of my favorite book of the West so much funds I mean that we had a raven on and Raven's course incredibly intelligent and sometimes on his feathered apes you know very very small and it was beautiful Can we had this raven just kind of literally just on the stage wandering around the stage and it just popped up on the desk and it just looked Brian Cox directly at the audience and there is this almost like the stand of this guy as in a way thing your psychology can't even fly the future is mine the future is for the ready for growth. The excitement of having you know whether it whether it's people birds or any of the other things that we've had on that show is it is wonderful thing that we have so I help you know there I love I love it and obviously as you say this with a look at science and whatever with Professor Brian Cox which is you have a very special relationship with I mean what is he really doesn't really have any weird habits you know or. He is like the ultimate archetypal physicist so most of which is that he has a deep understanding of the nature of the universe and to have that means that he often has no understanding whatsoever of doing things such as crossing the road all the way to the other side making a cup of tea or choosing his own socks you know that that's the great physicist Why what would someone else probably as we did 150. Live shows together in the last just over a year 'd and as well as then on top of that all the radio shows we spent a lot of time working together lots on travelling together and we only had 2 arguments and both of them have been about a questions so that some that they've never been about anything else apart from the mathematics of the universe what do you think he would say about you but. Well he considers me to be just as I see him as not he sees me as a preposterous kind of artist comedian you know racked with self-doubt and wasting his time and being worried about far too many things and pointlessly cross inanimate objects so that's kind of you know that's all right he's because you say he's got like a cool Playboy physicist or you know if it's the late Peter when God Peter when God would have been great playing the part of the Playboy sprawling concrete going around Switzerland in an open top car and I am that normal kind of you know the wretched sweaty too many ideas in my head I'm getting kind of cross kind of don't cry whites or words like this kind of human being that was relevant to bring his stand up to a pragmatic in some ways cede to their to Chipping Norton this Friday and the Infinite Monkey Cage which she does with friends or Brian Cox b.b.c. Radio 4 all Mondays at full 30 and you can also listen to them I highly recommend them on the podcast which she just go to b.b.c. Radio 4 website. B.c. Brady 0 walks that you will it's telling save the travel. Joyce is here with the latest on the overturned Laurie Allen highly it's still causing problems I'm afraid now we've had an update for in the last half an hour but the roundabout and oddly has now partially reopened they are still doing the recovery work and most of the approaches are still being affected now you still can't get off the m 40 northbound at Junction 10 to the r.v. Roundabout and that is continuing to cause a bit of a Q But hopefully now they're in the latter stages of recovery it shouldn't be too much time before it's fully back open again I'll swear we're looking at cues only a 40 north bypass in Oxford very busy heading up towards the wall and cut so roundabouts in the west down sides of these to bypass that looks to be moving very well at the moment no signs of any significant problems around Abingdon moving well through. Well in. The Oxford Road northbound having passed the hospital and then it slows down again heading up towards. Fair by reports of any problems lie on the trains travel from b.b.c. Radio Oxford.

And hey Tabitha How old are you my friend and I'm a lesson of people say each house like going. That route. Now Miss ask says that you have been learning a lot I mean not just today but over the weekend and last week what we've been learning about well we think manning up. And we say if we let a question about any crying state. And so we talked about. Different issues about if you could oh what do you think time with her well I think we can like the taste we didn't know they would fly. I mean do you want to go to space Tabitha could you be an astronaut and well I would like to say but I don't I don't really know where I did or don't know that with all of the future anything is possible top of her now Tabitha apart from space which is a big topic to learn about what else are you enjoying in school made out of school top of the loving about life. Now I have this focus that I gave you know which is cycling it's like what cycling cycling is fabulous where what is the last place you cycled. I think it was somewhere around Oxford. I cycled you know that last week and I went to South pant for a while fabulous you're going all over the place but you know space is the next mission I can well see if you can cycle over that there's absolutely delightful to talk to you but I don't suppose Sam is standing near Boeing you could yet Ok much. I. Did Next on the phone Sam are you in. Are you 11 to you yes excellent excellent What have you been learning about. We've been learning about space in the mean what's been your favorite fact you've learned. My favorite. Spring so this past year. My favorite fact is. About moon rocks and space and how we got to touch moon rocks did you yes you had me in rocks in the no closer primary yet it was a once in a lifetime of cheers certainly was what was it like to touch him. If so really good because not many children have been able to do not know was it lighter than you thought every adult could just describe what it's like to hold it. All the smallest. Quiet like you know lighter than I thought they would be yet. How amazing what I've never had to do we know how you got hold of them but it just you just lucky. No no says it does a lot of organizing I can hear the background the seed so it's very good well that is wonderful. Do you have some lastly I mean 1st of all.

Just 10 is just bumping around in the space capsule fabulous Well the sun is absolutely wonderful to talk to you Do you think we can get everyone gathered to say goodbye on 3. 123. On b.b.c. Radio Oxford. Just as the. Song was. Brady. Save the travel to take knowledge and let's not speak all over Alex components to say how it's hardly to. He has still a couple of problems around Oddly it's because a lorry ever turned on the oddly roundabout much earlier on the Smalling So it's still possibly blocking the roundabout where the a $43.00 comes off just off the m 40 a junction 10 and as a result you still can't get off the m 40 northbound at Junction 10 X.'s that road is still closed once the recovery work is continuing elsewhere not many problems actually for the some of the off today in a short queue on the a 14 or the bypass in Oxford heading up towards the cops level that roundabouts at least in bypass looks to be Ok we've been fairly well through Abingdon is looking fine as well through this to the softening a bit of a queue forming a whole to get a little side of Oxford Road heading up towards the road work section and then bam very very busy on the opposite right in both directions heading past the hospital and further up along horse by up towards up by. Crossing the roundabout at us looking very slow as well time said a travel from b.b.c. Radio Oxford Joyce Coleman your travel Oh's Surrey full 593 devil 16 double 6. It saves a travel. B.b.c.
