Physicist Brian Cox and comedian Robin Ince are joined by special guests Alexei Sayle and philosopher Julian Baggini to discuss Stephen Hawking's recent comment that "philosophy is dead".

Or are there some things, such as human consciousness, that science will never be able to fully explain.
Producer: Alexandra Feachem.
