Science: A Challenge to TV Orthodoxy – Brian Cox

The put-him-in-your-pocket-and-take-him-home Professor Brian Cox uses this year's Huw Wheldon Memorial Lecture to address the main challenges in bringing science to television. His speech addresses the problems that he faced in his own series for momentarily dismissing astrology and Dr Ben Goldacre's treatment in the press around the MMR vaccines. He also visits the documentary The Great Global Warming Swindle which Cox describes as "factually total bollocks" even though he defends the right of the makers to broadcast it.
