Comedian Phill Jupitus, bat expert Professor Kate Jones, and forensic botanist Dr Mark Spencer discuss the problems caused by alien invasions, such as invasive plants and diseases jumping from animals to humans. They explore the impact of invasive species on ecosystems, the difference between invasive and non-native species, and the risks and benefits of bio control and genome modification.
