Dennett gave a talk here on CE last Friday night (Oct.2nd), during
which he showed some clips that didn't make it into the TV program.
He said that, despite his insistence that some convincing experiments
be included, by the time the BBC included the obligatory "sex and violence,"
the experiments were cut almost entirely.  So he showed the excised
experiments during his talk.  He didn't disown the TV program, but
he evidenced frustration with the BBC.
