It wasn't bad but did dumb things down a bit.

I'm not naive enough to expect something requiring A Level physics to
understand.

GCSE grade C means they got their name right. B-) There does seem
to be a trend in factual/documentaries away from the lowest common
denominator that has ruled for the last 10 or 20 years. What this
programme will be like depends on the slot it gets on BBC1, if it's
early evening it will be focus on the entertainment part of "inform,
educate and entertain".
