Letter: Letter: Science soap

Published 19 May 1990

From D. SHILLAM

Ian Mundell asks, how many episodes in modern science would make good
television? (‘As seen on television’, Forum, 28 April.) Why good television?
Why not an engineering research soap? A space telescope soap? I have had
experiences in analytical and research chemistry labs that were more interesting,
moving, dramatic and funnier than can be seen in the usual television output.
