Battle of the Sexes

Brian Cox and Robin Ince are joined by Professor Sophie Scott, Professor Steve Jones and comedian Sara Pascoe to discuss the biological battle of the sexes.

Brian Cox and Robin Ince are joined on stage by Professor Sophie Scott, Professor Steve Jones and comedian Sara Pascoe. They will be tackling the age old battle of the sexes, and asking whether men really are from Mars, and women really are from Venus? Probably not, according to Brian as Venus is too hot! Moving on from the pedantry of physics, they'll be asking whether the divide between men and women is based on a fundamental difference in our genetics, in our brain function, or is it all down to our upbringing. Let the battle commence.
Producer: Alexandra Feachem.
