Stephen Hawking's Universe 7.45pm BBC2
"All my life I have been fascinated by the big questions that face us and have tried to find scientific answers to them," says Professor Stephen Hawking. "Perhaps that is why I have sold more books on physics than Madonna has on sex." And this six-part series attempts to answer such questions: how did the universe begin? How will it end? There are also the greater mysteries between - with help from Hawking and a host of experts. And, like his book A Brief History of Time, which has sold eight million copies, it is surprisingly accessible, as well as beautifully filmed and cleverly constructed.
