The first episode of the first series of BBC Radio 4's The Infinite Monkey Cage, in which physicist Brian Cox and comedian Robin Ince take a witty, irreverent and unashamedly rational look at the world according to science. Originally broadcast on 30 November 2009.
In this episode, 'Comedy, Dinos, Scientific Method, Funding', former cosmologist Dara O'Briain and Dr. Alice Roberts join Brian Cox and Robin Ince and ask why so many comedians seem to start life as scientists, and begin their quest to put science at the heart of popular culture.
