The star said he wanted Cox to join in on a performance of Galaxy Song from The Meaning of Life. Speaking after today's press conference, Mr Idle said:

"John can't do silly walks because he has a hip replacement, I decided I couldn't do the Travel Agent because you have to talk for 15 minutes and it's really exhausting and so I thought well I'd like to do some of the songs we've never done.

"I'd like to do Galaxy Song with Professor Brian Cox coming in. I was with him last night, talked him into it."
