Of one thing I am sure - Education via TV is superficial*. Watching telly encourages nothing so much as watching more telly no matter what the subject. All TV screen personnel are interested primarily in being seen and they will do anything to achieve it. This applies equally to wild life presenters as to homosexual extraverts. And when a TV program advises turning off the telly andgetting active, this is a right royal form of hypocrisy.
*Just consider how much more quickly you can learn about British wild life on this forum than on the telly.
