The Infinite Monkey Cage

Special Christmas Edition

par

The Infinite Monkey Cage is a BBC radio science programme hosted by physicist Brian Cox and comedian Robin Ince. The pair bring scientific ideas to life through conversation, with Cox offering a physicist’s perspective and Ince adding a comic, questioning voice.

Each programme explores a subject from science and the natural world, drawing on discussion with expert guests and the hosts’ contrasting styles. The result mixes accessible explanations with jokes, lively exchanges, and curiosity about how the world works.

This special Christmas edition offers the show’s familiar blend of science and comedy in a seasonal setting. Its appeal lies in hearing serious ideas treated with warmth and playfulness, without losing sight of the questions that make them fascinating.
