TV can be pretty rubbish, but right now I reckon we're having something of a golden age of science on the Beeb. Horizon was good for science and medicine in the eighties but gradually the Beeb seems to have dropped everything but natural history which itself declined steadily from the Attenborough zenith to a Humble nadir. But several programmes - or more particularly presenters - have shone lately - Brian Cox, Jim Al-Khalili, and Marcus du Sautoy. I wouldn't say that anything they've done has been quite as good the the Rotten World About Us or Peter Ustinov and the E=MC2 motorbikes, but it's quality TV all the same.
-------------------- Right an injustice - give Simon Kirby his allotment back!
