In Richard Murphy's review of ‘The Great ADHD myth?’ he states that Channel 4 should hang its head in shame. [1]

tl;dr:

"[Pemberton] failed to mention that he specialises in geriatric care."

"No evidence was presented from anyone who suffered from the condition, except a 10-year-old boy."

"...a biased view on a subject where the opinion presented will cause significant harm..."

"...deeply ethically and politically irresponsible."

Keep in mind that this is an article by the BBC about a BBC documentary. Think critically about bias in state run media or suffer the consequences.

Also, a scientist is interviewed in the documentary (I haven't seen the documentary, but my understanding is that it is the only real expert involved), Prof Katya Rubia, and they recently reacted to the documentary:

"My own contribution to this programme has been largely misrepresented as my comments were cherry-picked, truncated and presented out of context to make them fit into the programme’s narrative"

They comment further in the article, also concluding that the documentary is non-scientific and ill-advised.
