Stephen Hawking documentaries: Documentary series: 'Into the Universe' and 'Grand Design' Episodes: 3 each (6 total) Average length: 40+ minutes Sourced: YouTube and others Rating: 10/10 Year: 2010 - 2013 Broadcast by: Discovery Channel Summary: As my favourite person in the entire universe, Stephen Hawking's documentaries get 10/10 throughout. As always, Hawking is brilliantly funny and takes you through his imagination, which as he says, is what allows him to be free. Hawking's disease renders him completely paralysed apart from one eye, meaning he has to memorise the entirety of chapters for his books or scripts for his documentaries. Personally, I think that deserves a 10/10 straight off the bat. But beyond that, as far as documentaries on these subjects go, Stephen Hawking's are by far my favourite and I am yet to see a documentary series top them. They use the highest quality visualisations and Benedict Cumberbatch's narration is brilliant at conveying Hawking's enthusiasm! Hawking's is also fantastic at teaching. Subjects such as 'string theory' which are extremely complicated, Hawking makes beautifully simple. I can not recommend them highly enough. Also, in an interview with Brian Cox and David Attenborough Hawking said that he dreams in equations. Amazing. Click the image of the episode you wish to watch.
