From the man who brought you "So you think you know about dinosaurs?", we are delighted to welcome back to TechFest, Ben Garrod and his new family show "Extinct – The Story of Life on Earth. For as long as there have been species, there has been extinction. What causes it? Why do some species go extinct and what can we do to save endangered species?

Writing about the most devastating mass extinctions to have affected the planet and life on it, Ben explores what happened to the world's first super-predator, why one of the most successful animals of all time went extinct, and how the mighty Tyrannosaurus rex was killed by a huge asteroid.
