David Attenborough: Planet Earth or Life. Programs like this are the only reason I have found to warrant a HDTV.

The other reason i find is some of the space documentaries, like the stephen hawking ones or universe, look abosolutely stunning in HD.

I love Stephen Hawking's books, but I often find his documentaries disappointing. Especially his latest 'Stephen Hawking's Universe', I thought it largely just pandered to what people want to hear and not what should be heard, if that makes sense.

Well i've only read a 'brief history of time' and its a good book, complex towards the end, but very good. i found his recent docummentary 'Universe' was a lot of the same stuff we already knew, still great though. i think i know what you mean, because he talks about things like slowing down time and worm holes. i didnt see the last one, but i dont think he went into string theory at all; but i think part of his quest is to simplify these concepts and theories so there understandable to people who are overwhealmed by science.
