It's quite common to consider that the BBC has dumbed down - certainly in science documentaries they are nowhere near as taxing as vintage Horizon programmes on subatomic physics. However, in The Secret Genius of Modern Life they have a brilliant mix of information and entertainment. Professor Hannah Fry is an absolute gem with her sense of humour, almost flirting with the camera and breaking the Fourth Wall by involving the production team, whilst covering subjects at a good pace with information that I found well researched and scripted, presented and novel. I hope that there's another series. In some ways this series reminded me of a mixture of the programmes done by James May and many years ago by James Burke.
