Has the ABC commercialised astronomy for its own purposes, is this Star Wiz hosted by Julia Z? Many of those kids clutching those little ABC scopes will probably be put off forever. Just my 2 cents...
What say you?
Any outreach that gets people to look up and kids interested in astronomy is tops in my books. Even through a 1:1 toilet roll. I don't care.
