A remarkably fine institution
Having now been living in Arizona for 18 months, I can say with some degree of certainty that there are few British things that I miss. One of them is draft English beer, of course, but another one is the BBC. Luckily modern internet technology means that quite a few of the great BBC television programmes ‘leak’ outside the UK.
The BBC Horizon science series has been one such example of a really well-produced programme.
Recently, a BBC Horizon programme about genetically modified (GM) foods aired by the BBC found its way onto YouTube and thence to the website Top Documentary Films. Not only is it an interesting programme but it also reveals how the facts of new advances in science are often difficult to understand by us; the general public.
The link to the film on the TDF website is here but if you want to watch it directly from YouTube then here it is.
