There is some way more substance to the story; Fry's was just journalistic gimmickry passing through that did not catch or do justice at all to what might have been here.
If you read the whole chapter he spent a couple of days around town and talking to students. Plus a day with Fred Travis should have done quite a lot of justice what they are up too. If it didn't you have to ask what the press office is playing at, if the BBC were sending one of their most popular writers/presenters to me for a day I'd make sure everything was laid on and perfect so they could find out whatever they want and really get the feel of the place. Plus he'd obviously read up on TM and yogic flying to have some questions ready. I think he did rather well actually given that he was covering the whole country in a ten - part series. In fact everything he said echoes what I think about the ideas behind TM perfectly. I was quite touched that someone with only a few minutes experience of TM culture opted to use the same punctuation for vedic "science" that I do. But then our Stephen is a clever sort of chap, don't let the amiable, bumbling persona fool you.
