I was quite irritated when they did a program on him working on the Vulcan bomber prior to the final flight - the program would have you believe he'd re-wired it and welded it up himself and did not give anywhere near enough credit to the hundreds of volunteers that have restored it and kept it going for years and years. I'm sure that wasn't his intention, he would not likely have seen the film himself until it was on the telly.

He's likeable and obviously knowledgeable, but most of his TV programmes fail in their goal and are therefore disappointing.
