Give the average Aussie a pizza & the remote control to the TV

This is true Allan.

But that doesn't me we should stop trying. The young generation are curious and willing.

I also liked the interactive aspect of the show it got the viewers involved in a meaningful and positive way . Not like voting for the best dish or betting on the next goal.

I think this formula could be applied to other subjects too not just astronomy.
