Doctor Who writer Simon Guerrier and Public Astronomer Dr Marek Kukula will explore the science of Doctor Who in Brighton next weekend.

Part of Brighton Science Festival, the one-off Scientific Secrets of Doctor Who event will explore subjects as diverse as time travel, regeneration, artificial intelligence and how to operate a sonic screwdriver, in ways easy for all to understand, even parents.

Fans can also submit their own questions for the panellists.

The event takes place at 7pm on Saturday 16 July at the Sallis Benney Theatre in Brighton and tickets are available online now for £7.

Guerrier and Kukula’s hit book, The Scientific Secrets of Doctor Who, is out now.
