19 分钟Brian Cox and Robin Ince are on a mission to discover whether extra-terrestrials exist. But if there really is other life out there, what would it look like? Comedian Conan O’Brien is hoping for lizard-like creatures with superhuman strength, while Greg Proops imagines little green girls, like the ones in the Star Trek series he grew up with. Or possibly Ewoks. Either way, nobody can agree on the best way to communicate with them if we do ever make contact. Should we send them complicated equations so they realise how intelligent we are, and is playing Bach to aliens too much like showing off? New episodes will be released on Wednesdays.

This was an impregnable fortress.
The only way you got out was in a wooden box.
The controversial maximum security prison, impossible to escape from.
One of the duties of a political.
Prisoner is the escape the IRA inmates who found a way.
I'm Carlo Gabler, and I'll be navigating a path through the disturbing inside story of the biggest jailbreak in british and irish history.
The narrative that they want is that this is a big achievement by then.
Escape from the maze.

Hello, I'm Brian Cox.
I'm Robin Ince, and this is the infinite Monkey's guide to.
Well, we're looking back over the past 27 series, or maybe 28, or it could be 34.
Frankly, it doesn't really matter.
Well, it does, you know.
Well, it doesn't, because regular listeners will know that whenever we've done shows about cosmology, you'll have moments where people go, well, of course, we believe there's 200 billion or possibly 400 billion.
So if you're allowed to be out by 200 billion, I think being out by, like, five or six, well, it's not much, is it?
And also, actually, because this is a podcast, then it might not be listened to in sequence.
It might be listened to in ten years time, or it might never be listened to at all.
And then philosophically, we don't even know if it exists.
