I was impressed at the amount of information they included in 45 minutes while keeping it at a fairly simple level. I suggest the difference between this program and your lectures on similar topics is you can require deeper scientific understanding from your audience (I, geek that I am, prefer the depth your lectures went into, for all that the CGI is really cool).  The program left me with more questions than answers.  It was really nice to see so much involvement from Holly Gilbert (Rice University), in addition to all the men interviewed.  The Canadian/scientist(?) in me wishes they would give numbers in metric and Celsius (or Kelvin), as well as in units Americans understand. I don't think encouraging a broader understanding of units science is actually conducted in is a bad thing. I realise I’m a little behind, but I’ve only just watched this episode of The Universe.
