". . . the film is narrated by David Tennant. A tiny part of me (the part that's a bit dreamy and fanciful) thought he might show up and narrated it live. . .
He didn't show but his beautiful lilting Scottish tones did. Major kudos to the filmakers for this. Tennant is a natural narrator. His voice lures you in, complicated theories and jargon are suddenly easy to grasp."
The List - July 9, 2009 - Kelly Apter
"But Tennant’s dulcet tones somehow break down the complexity of galaxies and gadgets, making this fascinating but complicated subject infinitely more approachable."
The Leicester Mercury - July 26, 2010 - Cat Turnell
"Today, like any other day, the audience has been treated to an intensive dose of science wrapped in computer-generated wizardry and delivered in the gentle Caledonian of former Dr Who David Tennant."
