Being Prof Hutton, we may reasonably expect a fairly balanced view. Although that, of course, depends on how much the BBC wants to sensationalise it! Let's hope not. Ratings is all! but fingers crossed.

I found it interesting to learn about Gardners' formulative influences from his childhood; magic and ceremony in different cultures etc, but I was very intrigued by the tantalising suggestion that there was indeed some form of indigineous British witchcraft being practised prior to and during the period that he was developing "Wicca". Hutton seemed to brush over this, maybe due to lack of written, verifiable source, which is a shame but understandable I suppose.
