Is there anything living on extra-solar planets and if so, is it intelligent?

We have discovered over 400 extra-solar planets. But is there anything living on them and if so, is it intelligent? Patrick Moore debates the question of life in the universe.

Half a century ago, scientists were speculating about the possibility of planets outside our solar system. Since then we have discovered over 400 such extra-solar planets. But is there anything living on them and if so, is it intelligent? Sir Patrick Moore debates the question of life in the universe with today's planet hunters and astrobiologists, while at the Royal Society Dr Chris Lintott searches for evidence of alien life.
