I recorded the show from the 'Genius' series on BBC a couple of years ago and have it on CD. You can order the documentary for £20 at http://www.sykes.easynet.co.uk/index.html

is this the one with his artist friend (i forget his name) and they teach each other their vocations?

I think there is a short (a minute or two) interview with his artist friend. That friend also mentions about their trip to CERN.

That still sounds good, but i don't think that's what i saw. i don't remember anything about CERN. His children were also on the show and i think some waitress from the bar where he used to draw on the paper placemats.

Yes, that's the one. (About CERN) It's just an incident that the friend mentions. I think Chrisopher Sykes production made only one show on Feynman and that was the Horizons one. If you'd like confirmation, check out these clips (this is from the show I'm referring to).

Thanks a lot

Apparently, I was wrong about that one. May be you watched this...
