A topic from Film, TV & Radio: Documentaries

For years, despite denials from the BBC, Horizon has been in steady decline with less and less content dressed up with more useless drama. The new series seems different to me with a lot more serious science and little interfering drama producing a much better programme. I am particularly thinking of the programme I've just watched about where evil comes from.

So, has the BBC finally listened and turned Horizon round?

I don't think so, I felt the last few weeks have been science-lite, and whilst today's episode was an improvement, the actual subject matter was science-lite - to my evil warped mind anyway....

I'll still watch though, cos there's scant all else science on telly.

It could be better, but when you look at what might be regarded as competitive... is there anything?

When did Ch4 last run a series of Equinox, which was clearly their verson?

Oh! I'd forgotten about that. I used to enjoy Equinox.

I think that this series of Horizon is better, though I really wasn't interested in the one about astronomy because it seemed to be more about engineering than science. This week's contained some real scientific explanation and I thought it was very interesting.

I think that Channel 4 still does science programmes but they're one offs or short series on a particular subject. For whatever reason, it seems to have dropped the Equinox brand, which I think was a big mistake.
