It made quite an impression on me; I saw it exactly once, ~50 years ago, and I've never forgotten it.
I would like to know the broadcast date, and the name of the presenter. If there was some way I could see it, I'd be over the moon.
Horizon is still on TV. Modern Horizon programmes are pretty decent science programmes, but shallower than they were. The script is usually clickbaity, and the graphics and visuals they use are usually pretty random, like something a marketing consultant might dream up during a cigarette break - i.e. not likely to aid understanding.

Then hunt for that episode. There are a lot of episode online.
