Writer Ben Miller leads Jim Al-Khalili through our search for alien life in the Universe.

For millennia, we have looked up at the stars and wondered whether we are alone in the Universe. In the last few years, scientists have made huge strides towards answering that question. Comedian and bestselling science writer Ben Miller is in conversation with Jim Al-Khalili, taking us on a fantastic voyage of discovery, from the beginnings of life on earth to the very latest search for alien intelligence.

Ben Miller is a science writer and comedian. After studying physics at Cambridge and beginning a PhD, he left to pursue a career in comedy. He is now half of one of Britain's most popular TV comedy duo, Armstrong & Miller, and a successful actor, but has always maintained a passionate interest in science. He maintains this interest through science writing.

I've got a much more interesting story. I owned a high tech engineering product design and development company for 39 years. I was doing a machine that made large, spy satellite lens mounts for a client when I brought up the subject of UFO's. One of the engineers there had a top secret clearance and was highly intelligent and credible. He told me of the time he came face-to-face with two aliens inside a small UFO about 12 feet in diameter. I was totally taken by his story. I'm 73 now and this was one of the most interesting encounters of a UFO I'd ever heard. I don't think aliens are coming, I believe they're here and have been here for a very long time.

love how first they mock those that may have had a ufo experience and then ask the audience if anyone has had them.

agonising delivery of what should be a more cohesive topic.

They never left! Always among us during history of mankind

He dismisses all "flying saucer" sightings as some kind of illusory misapprehension fostered by mass media. If that's his "explanation" then he would have to assume that radars are also subject to such mass hysteria as well.

Says the aliens are coming, but they've been here before us LoL...💙❤

Ben Miller's talent for science exposition is on par with Jim Al-Khalil's abilities as a sitcom actor.

I blame aliens for the non -removal of barcode stickers under one’s shoe 😂 01:16 - i have no shame …

A great conversation. I`m an astro-biologist trained at the University of Edinburgh and find this talk interesting. As we all know, a budding physicist (Ben Miller) is not fully clued up on alien single celled life but he done really well and explained it a lot better than some of the dissentary commenters on here who only believe what fits their pre-conceived answers.

VERY little substance. Save your time.

I hope, for the sake of potential readers, that this guy actually finishes most of the sentances in his book. Unike when he's talking

Watched a few minutes thinking this may be a bust, at least for me. FFW bits ahead and watched various parts none of which made me want to come close to investing the time to watch the entire program. In fact, I didn't even bother to watch the last part at all which is a sure sign I can't get anything interesting out of what I've sampled. Literally makes me ask why would anyone read this book by this man. He strikes me as a man who, perhaps, reads various articles about a subject and then shuffles that data among what he must think is his brilliant observations for a book which ends us less than the articles and such he used in the first place. In the internet age everyone can write which makes even fewer worthy to read. Uh, Jim Al-Khalii I thought was a more serious science guy than whatever function he's supposed to be handling here. He can't even bring a sense of importance here.

I was very sceptical about UFO’s until I listened to David Fravor’s experience when he was a US naval Pilot flying off the US Nimitzs in 2004. He was asked to identify an object spotted on radar, when he arrived at the location he’s reported to have seen a Tic Tac shaped white object which when he approached it move in a way that defined our laws of physics.

Like many modern scientific thinkers, gone is the expectation of finding anomalies and in comes the arrogance of assuming we are on the right track. If you ridicule ideas presumably because you either think you know better in your short life or because you are afraid of ridicule yourself then you can't push the boundaries of our understanding. Makes me sad. Love. B

good lord this is so painful to watch, amazing ego's however, they clearly love stroking each others.

Love Jim's documentaries, this is selling a book AND issues widely known for some time 😞

He got the Arnold sighting a bit wrong, he described the craft as skipping like saucers and that's where the term "flying saucer" came from.
