In the U.S. on PBS last fall there was a program based on the book by
Brian Greene called 'The Elegant Universe.' This is an introduction to
string theory, with some other views and theories. The book and DVDs
are available on PBS's website:

As someone with an interest in theoretical physics & astronomy, I found
this program really thought-provoking, and I intend to buy it (some
day).
