Now, 25 years after his death – in his own words and those of his friends and family – this programme depicts the story of one of the most captivating communicators in the history of science.
Directly before this programme (8pm on BBC2) there is also another chance to catch The Challenger, the absorbing factual drama that tells the story of Richard Feynman’s search for the truth in the wake of the NASA Challenger disaster.
