      The show is a great chance to bring together expert scientists and members of the public to talk about really important questions in my area of science. Scientists love to argue with one another (usually in a nice way) and we sometimes have different opinions about what our results might mean.

      There are some people (usually not scientists), who argue that chimps should have the same rights as humans. My show will get some people who are experts on chimp behaviour and evolution to talk to members of the public about their research and whether they thing chimps should have humans rights. The public will get to join in with the debate and tell us what they think. It will be a really good chance to bring together lots of different people with lots of different opinions to chat about these really important questions.
