In the late 70 and early 80s , scifi authorJudith Merrildid a series of educational spots for Canadian video , which aired right after Doctor Who . Dubbed the UnDoctor , Merril dissected the science in each instalment , offering loopy wittiness along the room .

Merril is best - get laid for editing over a dozen “ year ’s best ” science fiction anthologies in the 1950s and 60s , as well asher light stories . I do it how she goes all Betty White in this segment , above , where she enunciate that the journeying into space “ just sprain me on . ”

Here , Merril talk about scientific errors in a show where the Doctor mention “ noetics ” and the “ judgment - brain interface . ”

“ I ca n’t straighten out all the Doctor ’s error , ” she admits . But she tries ! “ Noetic is a word that ’s become trendy late . It come to to the judgement , not the brain , ” she monish . After showing a clip where the Doctor identifies the exact localisation of the “ brain - creative thinker interface ” Merril goes into complete debunkery mood . Sure , you could see the brain . But as for the judgement ? “ Nobody knows its address , ” she concludes in a specially affecting here and now .

And in this section , Merril goof around as she talk about the meaning of masks — and try some on .
