Yes, Jack, I realise I should have mentioned that when posting - no, it was actor-read, and with no disrespect to Hawking, that was a relief. And the little-story bit I enjoyed was where he had the bet on with another scientist about, I think, black holes... and Hawking stood to win a year's subscription to Playboy.

However, although I was thinking of trying the 12-year-old version, I now realise that I'm better advised to go to something nearer my own level. Ah, here's one called: 'in search of the third chord'...!!!
