though there have been accusations of 'dumbing down',
Well, that's inevitable when you try to explain quantum physics to people who vaguely remember learning about the existence of atoms in school, isn't it? As long as the dumbing down doesn't result in incorrect information, I don't really mind.
Prof Jim al-Khalili's 2-parter, Everything and Nothing was also very good.
Oh yeah, I saw his series Atom a few years ago. Liked it a lot.
