Dr Maggie watched the programme as a child and led to a degree in Physics and a PhD in Mechanical Engineering and then working on the wonderful 8m Gemini telescope in Chile, as well as the James Webb Space Telescope. Growing up Dr Maggie had always wanted to be an astronaut, but she says being a space scientist is the next best thing because I鈥檓 building instruments that go into space.

Rob Brydon tells Zoe about his brand new UK tour. A Night of Songs & Laughter tells Rob鈥檚 personal musical journey from South Wales to the West End and beyond.
He'll perform songs from Tom Waits to Tom Jones, and Guys and Dolls to Elvis. Rob and his eight-piece band will take to the road following the huge success of his previous tour and this is the first time he has created a show that includes songs and music as well as his comedy.
