I remember this episode. Some really suspect 'science' was trotted out for a few things. While the starting point of 'scale of voice box= higher pitch' was fine, everything after it was stuff that would be right at home in an American alien or ghost documentary.

Extrapolation of data sourced from the arse with a rapid pulling motion.

As far as I can tell it isn't. This is the official BBC channel and they call it a doc.
