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.

have you read  Star Doom by Paul Davies  it was the first book i ever read about the beginning and end of the universe

then i met him when he left the University of London to take the chair in Adelaide.

as to Docos i like stuff like JAZZ , Ken burns presents the WEST a stephen ives film, THE HUMAN BODY,

THE NATIONAL PARKS America's best idea,  COSMOS , and Ken Burns CIVIL WAR.
