On balance, a good programme. But how seriously can you take James Randi, the conjuror. How was it that professional and esteemed scientists (contrary to their own null hypothesis) found results in favour of homeopathy, and in some cases jeopardised their own careers, whilst Randi who showtimes with $1 million prizes for disproving a one tailed hypo got the primetime? Personally, I find the understated, controlled scientific study more efficasious than the 'made for telly, made for money' psuedoscientic study. Also, who's to say that Randi doesn't apply his 'sleight of hand' skills to his debunking experiments. He wins everytime, woops! there's a miilion riding on it.

Anyone who has used homeopathy for themselves, children or loved ones know it works regardless of Randi's posturing. That's worth a million dollars.
