If you rely on a popularist TV show in a debate you are totally fucked. When I see shows about my own area of research I literally scream at the telly.

We used to have a show here called "Reputations" or maybe "Secret lifes", something like that.
Each of the shows was the same, they'd start with an amazing claim such as "Was Winston Churchil a drug addict child abuser?", you'd then have an hour of bemused/confused experts going "no there is no evidence at all for that - it's nonsense!"
At the end, the show would have claimed to have debunked a rumour that never existed to start with!
