Dara O Briain is meeting with Stephen Hawking for a brand new documentary.
BBC One's Dara O Briain Meets Stephen Hawking will see comedian O Briain gaining a unique and personal insight into the theoretical physicist.
O Briain sees Hawking as a childhood hero, and himself has a degree in Mathematics and Theoretical Physics.
He will also interview Hawking's two children Lucy and Tim, as well as Hawking's colleagues, students and close friends.
"It's a delight to watch Dara and Stephen's friendship develop with honesty and insight - especially as Dara is fulfilling a childhood dream meeting his hero," said commissioning editor Craig Hunter.
Hawking was recently the subject of the biopic The Theory of Everything, and was played by Oscar winner Eddie Redmayne. Watch the trailer below:...

Oxford University professor of diet and population Susan Jebb added: "This series is trying to understand more about the causes of overeating and to see whether, if we understand more about the causes of obesity, we can use this information to identify a specific diet or boost adherence...

If you’re in the mood to see a truly wonderful documentary, look no further than Andrew Rossi’s excellent Page One: Inside the New York Times.
I’ve had a true fascination with the Times for the past several years. Maybe it started when this site became active and I finally appreciated all the work journalists do (and please don’t think I’m calling myself a journalist). Maybe it was because I played a reporter for the Baltimore Sun in an episode of Homicide ages ago. Maybe it was me walking past their building on the way to the Drama Book Shop every time I’m in New York City. Whatever it is, I’m fascinated with them.

Both editors are veterans of The New York Times but have zero showbiz expertise. Because we all know that it takes no special knowledge to cover Hollywood, right? As a result, Mary Jo Murphy leaves the Week In Review to take charge of the Hollywood and publishing beats. And Craig Hunter moves from the science desk to oversee the TV, music, and advertising coverage. Like their predecessors, both report to Bruce Headlam who top edits the Media desk. Hunter replaces the very able Steve Reddicliffe who moves to the Nyt's sports section after a near-lifetime editing and writing TV coverage. Steve deserves a medal for dealing [...]...
