Aliens: Mr Green and Mr Gray cannot visit us today
Stevyn Colgan has been involved with aliens for three decades. He's held Jabba the Hutt's face, helped sculpt creatures for Bruce Willis to shoot at, and had a script accepted for Doctor Who in the 1980s. In this entertaining talk, you'll hear about feuding gangs of scientists, film directors with less imagination than children, and the perils of concrete poo. You'll also come to realise that if we really are intelligently designed, we're an illogical and inefficient system.
