I want to iterate again what a brilliant series this is.

I saw it. I agree, it was of high quality.

As for the rest - it shows that this is Hawking's domain. What was presented is either proven fact or ortodox conjectures, supported by the available evidence.
No more not so thought-out assumptions as in the 'Aliens' episode.

I have enjoyed the shows so far. Does anyone know if more are planned? I have searched and only found info about the three episodes that have already aired.
