Mad and Bad: 60 Years of Science on TV (2010)
From Raymond Baxter live on Tomorrow's World testing a new-fangled bulletproof vest on a nervous inventor to Doctor Who's contemporary spin on the War on Terror, British television and the Great British public have been fascinated with the brave new world offered up by science on TV. Narrated by Robert Webb, this documentary takes a fantastic, incisive and funny voyage through the rich heritage of science TV in the UK, from real science programmes (including The Sky At Night, Horizon, Tomorrow's World, The Ascent of Man) to science-fiction (such as The Quatermass Experiment, Doctor Who, Doomwatch, Blake's 7, The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy), to find out what it tells us about Britain over the last 60 years.

Sorry, this movie sucks
It was OK. I don't see why everyone loves it so much. It wasn't very smart or deep or well-directed.
Clever and entertaining enough to recommend even to members of the 1%
The acting is good, and the firecracker script has some excellent ideas.
