The plagued turtles

So having watched Richard Hammond's Journey to the Centre of the Planet something's occurred to me.

It doesn't matter whether the science programme is zoology (Richard Attenborough), astrophysics (Prof Brian Cox) or Geology (eh... Richard Hammond). They all end up on a beach looking at a turtle.

Turtles are now outnumbered on their native beaches by television science presenters. At the current rate of growth, every turtle in the world will have been accidentally trodden on by a science programme camera operator within 5 years. It's a disaster in the making.

But this is really good, by the way...
