Stephen Hawking did the small introductory talk at the start of each episode.

His voice not really being his, I've always wondered whether it was really him.

Masters of SF doesn't compare to Masters of Horror (the later being much better).

A few years ago, cable belonged to the municipalities in the Flanders region of Belgium. In their effort to drive the region towards a knowledge-oriented economy, forward-looking politicians created a public-private project called Telenet; and sold the entire cable infrastructure to this company.

Now, the municipalities hold a mere 3.5% of the shares of Telenet (the majority - 52% - residing in the hands of Libery Global, a US-based investment fund), and the people the forward-looking politicians represented are now paying through their noses for a broadband service that is third-grade compared to non-monopolist cable broadband services in the neighbouring countries.

Reastically, I think I'll have to wait another 20 years before someone over here sees the light and decides to make the cable infrastructure public property again.

Same desk, now with the user.

Do not forget the true motives of ceiling cat.
