Back in 1988, Magnus Magnusson (best name ever) somehow managed to bring three of the 20th Century's most fascinating personalities together to discuss God, the Universe, and Everything Else. In the hour-long program, the three talked about the Big Bang theory, the connection between science and scifi, the rise of computer science, extraterrestrial intelligence, and the puzzle that is human existence.
 
The remarkable program featured a spry 46 year-old Stephen Hawking who was already having to rely on his speech synthesizer — but his wit and deadpan humor was firmly established. Carl Sagan, who appeared via satellite, passed away only eight years later, with scifi author Arthur C. Clarke dying in 2008.

I can't see a video but I remember this interview, I'm just watching it on youtube, the bit where Arthur C Clarke starts using his computer makes me sigh because I remember exploring the Mandelbrot set on my Amiga too

Amazing how pretty much everything ever broadcasted makes it on Youtube.
