Greene is by far the best video presenter on physics topics IMO - I've watched the excellent 4-part TV version of FOTC twice. I'm hoping the book will go into more detail.

Yes, Greene does an outstanding job of simplifying an extremely complex subject. Neil Degrasse Tyson does good, too, but overall not as well as Greene, IMHO.

I am not familiar with what goes into television show production, but both of those guys may have writers/editors knowledgeable in the field(s), who provide a lot of help, mainly in making things simple, Simple, SIMPLE, and also determining the relative importance of different topics, so as to know what information to include and what information to exclude.
