Just watched it on a repeat. Quite an interesting and somewhat eccentric chap

I managed to watch it this evening on sky+ (other DVRs are available), and loved it.

What a great guy John is, witty and remarkably compelling. Well worth a watch.

Good to see someone asking some difficult and fundamental questions about things we tend to assume to be true these days (the big bang). Right or wrong it's good to hear the questions asked in such a clever and well thought out manner. I guess that is what separates science from religion, dissent is welcomed an encouraged in order to further everyone's understanding.

I enjoyed it.

Amazing chap. I wouldn`t have the front to stand on a street corner in London with my telescope approaching complete strangers!

His use of scale is very good, such as `the Earth would fit inside the gap of the Cassini Division`.
