 In 1997, Channel 4 broadcast Durkin's documentary series "Against Nature", which criticized the environmental movement for being a threat to personal freedom and for crippling economic development.The UK's then broadcasting regulator the Independent Television Commission received 151 complaints from viewers and interviewees featured in the programme with four complaints upheld.In its report on the series, the ITC rejected 147 complaints that mainly were concerned with fairness and misrepresentation, stating that "the programmes' line that green ideologies were, at least in some respects, open to criticism on both scientific and humanitarian grounds, was a legitimate approach".
