Well at the start he was wandering around a festival of people communing with their dead ancestors and he said something like "Well this isn't very scientific. Though of course belief in a soul is common to all human cultures because it's intuitive for us to think that life has a mystic spark of some kind and we don't like the fact that we're going to cease to exist after we die. But now I will tell you how it all works for real." At the end he comes back to line of resoning and and says "There you go then in it's just hyrothermal vents and energy gradients folks, nothing mystical going on here just the laws of physics". If this were shown on US TV it this could be a bit controversial, but for the BBC it's just a run of the mill education series about the natural world.
