Doh!-)

Can we make a looped tape of this and post it back to the BBC?!-) And
this after she just visited the NCCPG London Fair at Kenwood.. I didn't
see last nights programme (will have to watch the repeat) but she was

Is this TV dumbing down and protecting its viewers from difficult words
like 'genus' which they don't understand?
It surely can't be Rachel de T herself who doesn't understand the

This sort of thing does get me cross!
