There were plenty of other high profile names at the Goldsmiths and HuffPost event, so head on over and check out the explosive debate here.

The last Plantagenet king was found in a social services car park and the UK was told it must make immediate plans to cope with a massive solar 'superstorm'. This really has been an exciting week. So were you paying attention? Try your hand at our news quiz, and see if you can BEAT THE WEEK.
