Chris Moyles returns with guests Louis Theroux and Professor Brian Cox, along with surprise guest Barry Scott, discussing various topics including a new documentary and science.

Plus he admits that he thinks knowing absolutely everything about the universe might actually ruin the fun. And it doesn’t stop there, somehow amongst all that there’s still more… One finger boom!
