Hawking
The story of the search for the beginning of time.
Directed by Philip Martin
Produced by BBC
A tender biographical drama about Stephen Hawking's formative years, balancing the intellectual wonder of cosmology with the emotional weight of a devastating diagnosis and the emergence of love.
The story of Professor Stephen Hawking's early years. It is 1963, and our young cosmologist celebrates his 21st birthday. At the party is a new friend, Jane Wilde - there is a strong attraction between the two. Jane is intrigued by Stephen's talk of stars and the Universe. But she realises that there is something very wrong when Stephen suddenly finds that he is unable to stand up.
