Professor Brian Cox is the host of this engaging discussion series by The Francis Crick Institute, the renowned biomedical laboratory. It has a straightforward premise. Each episode takes a big topic, such as whether we can cure cancer or whether we can live forever, and then features a panel talking about said issue in all of its facets in front of a live audience. 

The series manages to be informative and fascinating, yet highly accessible. Science is always spoken about in layman’s terms so the topic never goes over your head.
