Brian and Robin are joined by special guests Ben Goldacre and comedian Dave Gorman to discuss the notion of trust in science. Why are people prepared to believe in magic and pseudoscience rather than empirical evidence, and does it matter? Science often appears open ended and evolving, a reason to mistrust it, especially when it can feel like we are bombarded with so much contradictory information. So is the scientific method the only way to truly test if something works, and why should we trust the scientists over alternative practitioners who many people would argue have helped them more than anything that comes out of a laboratory.
Producer: Alexandra Feachem.
Brian Cox and Robin Ince ask if UFOs and aliens have visited Earth.
Does alien life exist? Probably yes. But will we be making contact anytime soon?
What makes us laugh, why we do it, and how a good guffaw can help us feel healthier.
