The Archive Hour: Putting It Simply

on BBC Radio 4 FM

Scientists and the media have not always enjoyed an easy relationship, with accusations of "dumbing down" coming from Nobel Prize winners, and complaints about the incomprehensible jargon of the boffins from the broadcasters. Kathy Sykes charts the way that science has been seen and heard on radio and television, from the post-Second World War lectures on the Third Programme to the animation of Walking with Dinosaurs.
