Astronomer and host of The Sky at Night, Chris Lintott, and engineer and author Roma Agrawal are the guests on this week's show and we head back over a thousand years for one of our inspiring figures while one of the others, well, Chris walks past their house every day...
Hosted by Dr Helen Czerski and Robin Ince and presented in association with the Royal Institution.
In this show we want to know who inspired the people that inspire us. Each guest will invite the people who formed the ideas that have shaped their work, inspiration, creativity and life. Some may be heroes and, some may be villains, a few may be in-between. They may be alive. They may be dead. They might even be fictional.
