Framed photograph of Stephen Hawking with David Walliams during a special sketch of the 'Little Britain' comedy programme. It includes a personal note by Walliams attached to the back of the frame.

Little Britain was a British comedy show that ran between 2003 and 2007. Years after its final episode, in 2015, Stephen Hawking performed a 'Little Britain' sketch as feature for Red Nose Day. This is a yearly, comedic fundraising campaign to end child poverty.

In this sketch Hawking acted the role of Andy Pipkin, a recurring character of the show usually played by Matt Lucas, who pretends to be disabled on a wheelchair. David Wailliams acted his regular role in the sketch as Pipkin's carer.

One of the most frequent items on the walls of Stephen Hawking's office are photographs of individuals, most often original prints. A good portion of these are individual portraits of his scientific heroes; he did not have individual photos of his closest mentors or collaborators, as those appear in several group photos taken during academic conferences. A few of the photos, whose selection may have been haphazard, point to the everyday fun of working with colleagues. Another subset of photographs, all dating after the 1987 publication of A Brief History of time, relate to Stephen's contact with celebrities and politicans, or media appearances. A few of the photographs relate to people with whom Stephen shared specific causes. Finally, also present in his office are photographs of some of of the sponsors of the scientific activities of Stephen and his academic department.

Stephen also had multiple photograph of his family, but they were not included in the office acquisition.
