J. Wilgoose, Esq. and Saiful Islam - They've Made Us Episode Eight

On the final episode of season one we welcome chemist Professor Saiful Islam and Public Service Broadcasting's J. Wilgoose, Esq to the stage. For their inspirations we look to the past of the very building we filmed the series in and travel with PSB to Berlin...
Hosted by Dr Helen Czerski and Robin Ince and presented in association with the Royal Institution.
In this show we want to know who inspired the people that inspire us. Each guest will invite the people who formed the ideas that have shaped their work, inspiration, creativity and life. Some may be heroes and, some may be villains, a few may be in-between. They may be alive. They may be dead. They might even be fictional.

I borrowed the Goodies File from my local library when I was 10, so only had it for a couple of weeks but it seared itself into my brain. Buffaloes and messy carpets... Someone's let the gibbon out, the gibbon's got away...

Perhaps Ayn Rand only read the first half of Animal Farm? 🤔
