Fantastic
Really captured his amazing mind and childlike view of the most complicated theories of the universe, aswell as his sense of humour.
Commercial recognition that is more than a little belated.
It has spurred me to have another read of his two books, "A brief history of time", and "the universe in a nutshell". I admit quite a few parts of it were beyond my intellect first time around, even when he was using simple terms. Great stuff though.

Did you know that Einstein had a wardrobe full of the same shirts, trousers etc so that each morning when he got dressed he didn't have to think about what to wear, saving himself valuable brain "power" for later?
However don't people in burger bars and other fast food outlets wear the same clothing each day? What are they storing their mental capability up for? Working out how much it costs if you choose 3 items from the £1 menu?
Flawed thinking by the so called genius...

Some smartass game developer has seen that and thought " It could work "

It's the wheelchair - if you never have to think about walking it increases your intelligence. I've got an IQ of 47 million.

I didn't like the splicing of the two scientists' pre-nobel prize award acceptance interview, into the main body of the drama. And I also spotted a mistake in the formulae upon the black board.

Just wrong.

But Hawkings theory seems to be right... That is if i could understand what he's on about.

I hope that Hawking features in the new Doctor Who as an evil Davros like genius leading his Dalek army to victory in historical battles against the French. And I wrote that sentence without punctuation.
The BBC thing was OK (the Gathering Storm the previous night regarding Churchill was fantastic and immensely superior in every way) and was, if you pardon the pun, very formulaic. Genius who likes Mozart and Wagner uses blackboard to beat rival professor and then "solve" the mystery of the universe.

I just tried finding out but the radiotimes website isn't working and ananova just told me they dont have tv listings anymore. Don't have a tv guide and Sky forbids you from looking for programs that were just on. My last hope is thesun website.
But yeah really was interesting if you want to really understand the man, BBC program was excellent though. Unfortunately I wouldnt hold on to hopes that it'll be repeated soon. :(
