Brian Cox and Eric Idle were on the Nerdist podcast together, and they talked about this; Cox said that Hawking even did an ad-lib when they were filming. At the moment that he "ran over" Brian Cox, he apparently ad-libbed - "Don't be so pedantic."

...and that little grin Hawking gives the camera...

Note: that's a link to "F*ck the Creationists," which is great. Here's a link to "Entropy", which may be even better.
