Well if he can raise the bar, but at the moment I feel that the bar has not
left the ground yet. Mind you I'm flabbergasted by the lack of knowledge in
average people of under 30 years. IE not knowing that planets and stars are
different or which planets are gaseous and which rocky and which have no
atmosphere etc.
Also not understanding the rudiments of how electricity works and how
transformers work. There are very simple books on these concepts and we were
taught them as a matter of course.

That Irish guy, if you mean Science club. I watched the first one and
thought, a bit infantile this, and watched the second one and it was
even more rubbishy. Surely there is more knowledge out there than what
he spouts. Its like going back to the Junior school.

Oh, I quite liked it

The truth of the matter is that we have a country that is so dumbed down
that he has to aim at the lowest common denominator and people seem
embarrassed at any display of scientific knowledge or intelligence. Dara
seems to be someone who is bucking the trend - good luck to him
