Dr Mike was expressing his personal views, it wasn’t duly signposted or challenged. It also covered controversial subjects and the output failed to retain a respect for factual accuracy, fairly represent opposing viewpoints as well as ensure a sufficiently broad range of views and perspectives is included in the output with similar weight and appropriate timeframe
Need to re-watch and flesh out Episode Timeline, Notes and Quotes to properly write out

Section 4.3.28 states:
The BBC has a tradition of enabling a wide range of individuals, groups or organisations to offer a personal view or opinion, express a belief, or advance a contentious argument in its output. This can range from … to the opinion of a specialist or professional including an academic or scientist, to views expressed through contributions from our audiences. All of these can add to the public understanding and debate, especially when they allow our audience to hear fresh and original perspectives on familiar issues.
Such personal view content must be clearly signposted to audiences in advance.
Section 4.3.29 states, in relation to controversial subjects:
Additionally, when personal view programmes and websites (for example, blogs) cover ‘controversial subjects’, … we should:
retain a respect for factual accuracy fairly represent opposing viewpoints when included …
ensure that a sufficiently broad range of views and perspectives is included in output of a similar type and weight and in an appropriate timeframe.
