Dumb down more like it. They pick a presenter more for his working
class accent than knowledge, they seemed to do this quite often. That
swimming with monsters series -was that the same bloke?


I thought it was quite well presented and easy to understand; I quite
liked
the golfball analogy for ensemble spread. I've also seen Tim Palmer using
guns to demonstrate it !!

It's worth remembering the majority of the viewers may not have watched
any
such a programme before.

I've always said we should save the more complex stuff for a Sky at Night
type of monthly programme.

Okay Richard fair dues. But personally I felt the whole programme was an
attempt to show objectivity, when in essence the mind had already been
decided.
If the same type of procramme had been available and shown in the early 70's
we'd all be stocking fossil fuels and preparing for armageddon.
