Hi there. Read the above and totally agree with the positive comments. Thank you for a great piece of work. I have told lots of family and friends about it but would love to be able to show it to them.
Is it possible to get a copy?
Dan.

David, thank you!

My wife and I have just watched your programme The Secret Lives of Waves for the third time in its entirety. Thanks to the repeat on BBC4 early Monday morning last.

About the time when we first saw the programme in 2011, we each had lost a parent and your concluding thoughts gave us both immense comfort.

On reflection this documentary is equally thrilling in scope, very profound and as important, good television.

Speaking for myself, the way you articulated your ideas coupled with my own brief dalliance with Buddhist philosophy has now given me the clarity of vision to see through organised religion.

I wish you every success and happiness in life, with your political aspirations and hopefully with making more outstanding documentaries. I hope we will see more, soon.

Stephen

Just to add, the actual science and mathematical ideas you presented were equally important. Your palpable excitement at discovering them was wonderful.

Sorry I have not replied till now. I have been away filming and leave again in the morning. But I wanted to take my turn thanking those of you who watched and left a comment here.

Thank you.

Your comments are what make film making such a privilege.

I just watched this on iPlayer and I’m still reeling from the impact.

It was the most thought provoking and moving program I have seen in years, thank you!

This could easily be expanded into a full series, because the scope is huge, and the ideas are mind boggling. I wonder if advances in quantum theory have moved the original ideas forward in any way, from when the program was first broadcast? Or if the ideas have developed into other areas? I would love to see if this is the case.

I’ve just watched The Secret Life of Waves on iPlayer whilst idly browsing to find something that looked vaguely watchable when I had an hour to kill.
My goodness, how glad I am that serendipity led me to it!

One of the most fascinating, well-constructed and beautifully narrated science documentaries I’ve seen in a long while. One that dared to delve into much greater philosophical and human concerns whilst retaining its essence of pure science.

Just felt I had to say ‘Thanks’!

I have just finished watching The Secret Life of Waves and cannot describe how powerful I found it. I had no preconceptions of what it might contain, I live by that Devon Coast and am always spellbound by the motion of the waves and the energy contained within.
I am just approaching the 13th anniversary of my mother’s death and will never forget the night she passed away and that strong sense of dissipated energy – afterwards I found it cathartic to walk down by the coast and feel that somehow the energy from her death had a purpose in that it was now a part of what I could experience in the wind and the waves. I know that I sought solutions about where her consciousness had gone and that was the closest I could get to an answer
I found great solace from watching your programme and wish to thank you for sharing your personal thoughts alongside the science. The two should not need to be separate.

I just finished watching the documentary on BBC Three…. I really like the philosophical and the comparative aspect to life. sadly enough I was thinking about my father whom I lost last year whom I haven’t seen for nine years and the worst bit it is I could even go to the funeral! your documentary got me thinking and I’m still thinking …. but I’m so pleased you got the chance to involve your parents in the documentary…
