I watched this! While I found it interesting, I just wish they would go into more technical depth with the facts, I appreciate that it is made for a wide target audience.... but there never are any in depth programmes....
While I agree with this I don't think it was insultingly dumbed down and, in fact, it covered a good breadth, if not depth of information whilst still being accessible to the general public. Psychology definitely needs a greater, and better informed, coverage in the media.

Yeh, I know I know.... It's just me, while I think it was excellent for the general public, and not dumbed down as you say, personally I would love a Psychology TV channel with very in-depth programmes for Psychology nerds.

Listen to the All in the Mind podcast (by the Australian Broadcasting Corporation) if you want some in-depth stuff (not all of the episodes are on psychology btw)

My department seem to do more visual attention stuff...not sure how well that would translate to tv
Do you mind telling us a bit about it? I will put it up, thanks
It's fiction, actually written by a guy called George Cockcroft but under the pen name of Luke Rhinehart. It's about a psychiatrist who decides to base all his life decisions on the casting of dice (ie he writes down 6 possible options, casts a die, then picks the corresponding option from the number on the die). Quite controversial, and got banned in several countries, but a very good read.
Well, it is semi-autobiographical, but trust me, with some of the subject matter, you'll be glad it's not real.
And this was released in 1970s, whereas Yes Man was early 2000s if I'm not mistaken. Yes Man is basically a watered down version of The Dice Man, much less interesting in my opinion.
