      Ha ha! Yes! I once ruined Spiderman for a friend of mine by saying that none of this was really possible and the whole thing was stupid. She’s never forgiven me.
      The other thing that’s annoying is the speed with which they get their results. Science is quite slow and it can take weeks or months to get a result. But in programs like CSI – they have a result in a day. I guess it would make the program pretty boring if they didn’t though.
      On the other hand, I do think it’s good to show science in films and on TV so people can see what we do. They just have to be careful with what they say!
