Unwatchable due to his target audience but you can see that he is interested in teaching his lost cause. He was accused of bullying in the backstabbery that was going on in the BBC back then. Maybe he had threatened to spill some beans in a cupboard that Auntie wanted kept shut.

Since he left, the BBC forecasts have really become abysmal. But that is due to the management. Obviously having scientific integrity affects how many commercials they can sell.

Or do I mean licenses?
I'd love to know what he had to say about those green charts they used when he was in charge. Sadly any discussion of the subject on the BBC notice boards was quickly re-edited to follow the party line. It took me long enough to get out of room 101. It must have been hard for him.
