I often get letters, quite frequently, from people who say how they like the programmes a lot, but I never give credit to the almighty power that created nature. ↗

You can only get really unpopular decisions through if the electorate is convinced of the value of the environment. That's what natural history programmes should be for. ↗

Part of the inhumanity of the computer is that, once it is competently programmed and working smoothly, it is completely honest. ↗
