Magnus Alfred Pyke (Paddington, London, 29 December 1908 — 19 October 1992) was a British scientist and media figure, who, although apparently quite eccentric and playing up to the mad scientist stereotype, succeeded in explaining science to a lay audience. He was known for his enthusiastic way of waving his arms around as he spoke.
Supplied spoken vocals in Thomas Dolby's early eighties hit "She Blinded Me With Science". He also appeared in the music video.

Famous British scientist who appeared on a number of TV programmes. He was extremely tall and had a moustache. He was prone to waving his arms about like a whirling dervish when he explained things.
