Dr. Magnus Pyke - February 1980

Dr. Magnus Pyke (1908 – 1992) was a British scientist and media figure, who, although apparently quite eccentric and playing up to the mad scientist stereotype, succeeded in explaining science to a lay audience. He was known for waving his arms around enthusiastically as he spoke (you'll see that in the video). In February 1980 he spoke to Dave Ghani in the Imperial College TV Studio.
