Professor Stephen Hawking to make ‘Big Bang’ cameo

Professor Stephen Hawking will make an appearance in hit US comedy The Big Bang Theory.

Professor Hawking recently filmed a cameo which will air in April in the US and later in the year in the UK. The geek styled sitcom airs on CBS in America and regularly wins its slot when new episodes air.

The British physicist recently turned 70 but had pulled out of a number of events due to ill health. He also starred in his own Channel 4 show Brave New World which aired last year.
