Mars episode - primary colours

According to the presenter the primary colours are red, blue & GREEN!! 🤬 how did that get through production? What other inaccuracies are they spouting?

Also, the only way for fans to get a question read out is via a 5 star review. It’s a bit disappointing that reviews are used this way…
