BBC Radio 4

It's good, bad, ugly - and very very funny. Changing the way we see heroes and villains in history.

Evil Genius with Russell Kane

Russell Kane gets physical with Dan Tiernan, Ola Labib and Rajiv Karia as they try to work out whether Stephen Hawking was evil, or a genius. His breakthroughs in quantum physics changed our understanding of the universe - but his contribution to files, both scientific and other, have the panel in a bit of a black hole.
