HoL on BBC science coverage

Bishop Hill in BBC

The House of Lords Communication Committee questions Brian Cox and Sir David Attenborough on BBC science programming. Is it just me, or do parliamentary committees only ever want to hear from people who aren't going to rock the boat?

That said, there is some interesting probing of the "how to deal with dissent" question, with Brian Cox looking somewhat uncomfortable at one point.

Video starts at 16:30, with the fun bit from 16:37, although the subject of climate change is also briefly broached later on as well.
