Once again, the MP for Hackney North and Stoke Newington raises the curtain on the weekend’s programme. She’s followed by Professor Richard Wiseman, who will be discussing his latest book, Paranormality, proving that the paranormal doesn’t exist, and showing you the tricks that convince people it does, with you as the experiment. Finally, Jon Ronson introduces The Psychopath Test, in which the Men Who Stare at Goats author journeys into the world of psychopathy, and discovers that many of our top CEOs and politicians are, in fact, psychopaths. This event has an interval and lasts approximately two and a half hours.
