It didn't say that. It was typical BBC dumbed down science.
Whereas other channels don't do that? Sounds like another boring BBC
bashing.

The whole programme would be better if Countryfile didn't
constantly switch between topics and then have to recap what had been
said earlier. This is common in BBC programmes I find it very
irritating, the BBC probably think it is entertaining.
It is a peak time magzine programme with a Sunday pm audience profile -
and without time to go into depth on the science, I presume.
Even the dedicated science programmes have to take a balance between
people that know nothing of the subject and experts that will view it as
dumbed down.
Not that I'm disagreeing that a lot of it could still be called dumbed
down - but the nature of the programme/slot will vary this - and
moreover, I don't see much different on non-BBC programmes.
Now there's a chance to use the Red button,
When topics like this crop up they could have "Click red button for more

Or go to
