Abstract
Talk to scientists, broadcasters, educationalists or those working for the public understanding of science and you will get, almost certainly, a view that science has a declining presence in the output of major broadcasters.
This chapter considers the potential – and limitation – of TV for science education and presents some data on successful science broadcast projects.
