The Secret Genius of Modern Life

A TV show about technology, physics, chemistry, mecahnics or whatever the scientific subject may be is automatically a good thing. But "The secret genius of modern life" is too dumbed down to really work for anyone with a three figure IQ and/or over the age of 12.

But the big annoyance here is Professor Fry. Anyone who introduces themselves as "professor so and so" needs to be taken down a peg or two (that also applies to her colleauge Alice Roberts, by the way).

She obviously loves the sound of her own voice and to have the camera pointing at her constantly. Her "jokes" are as unfunny as they get, and she seems to be totally immersed in the "cloud of smug" of South Park fame.

This show seems to have been created solely as a vehicle to boost Ms Fry's celebrity status and earnings. Give us a proper presenter who takes the subject seriously and treats the viewers like intelligent human beings, please.
