Brilliant programme, really enjoyed it :)

Trouble is he was looking for "magic" and doesn't understand "average". Best advised to stick to fruit flies and nematodes.

I was living on the continent when the Birdie dance wiped out civilisation there ...  not sure if it had a similar effect here ... maybe it was responsible for the demise of punk?  Don't think it was even on Armand's radar.
