Should I do it?

Of course, and it will force you to clean it.

If you think they will portray you in a reasonably accurate and positive light, then definitely go for it!

This.
The only thing I would be worried about is quotes taken out of context, otherwise, no reason not to. The one thing I am thinking is that when anyone does a segment for a show, they have to really pick and choose only some of what they shoot. This means you would need to be more concise in what you say/explain. I get the impression/idea that perhaps they likely arnt going to be overly towards the technical side and would be more interested in "life as Dave" as it pertains to all this.

Even for no pay I would do it, it's free publicity.
As for the out of context I wouldn't worry too much, it's not like it's TMZ.

My vote is NOT to clean up the lab. Put more junk in it. The background for the interview should have lots of various scopes displaying Lissajous patterns and/or Youscope, plus at least one Jacob's ladder. Hope their TV cameras are well shielded!

I voted its a trap ..
The trap would be if that discovery channel charges payperview or anything similar and they want you for a freebee it'd sound hypocritical (from them) to get you as a "interest item" .
Suggest a fee , get me in there too as I can put on the flip flops stubbie shorts tank top and the cork on strings hat and with the associated can in the hand (rum and cola though as I'm educated) .
Could even rent a roo and have it bouncing around the place .
all imo of course ...
