Carter cleverly weaves in science at every opportunity, whether it’s inspired by direct observations of birds and animals and plants […] or spinning off from a trig point onto the geometric methods of surveying through history all the way up to GPS. […] All in all, this is probably best described as a great ramble on the moor with an expert guide. […] It’s a wuthering wonder.
—Brian Clegg, popular science author and communicator, Popular Science Books

The moment I heard his papal name I knew they were saying it wrong....it should be said in Frankie Howerd's voice.
Apparently they wanted to call him Pope Paedo, but they couldn't decide on a number to follow his name!
