Tuesday, May 6, 2008
Robbie Williams and Jon Ronson Journey to the Other Side
He has a genuine interest in UFOs and has been researching sightings, abductees and the possibility of extra terrestrial life.
During the course of the day, Robbie and Jon meet a doctor who claims to have 15 metallic objects which are not earthly, as well as a British woman, Ann Andrews, who believes that her youngest son Jason is an 'indigo child' - a child abducted by extra terrestrials while in the womb and sent back to Earth to save the planet.
The documentary was recorded on location over 3 days in LA and Nevada. The programme is a radical departure from the usual pop star interview and Jon Ronson brings his own incisive take on proceedings with Robbie at the UFO conference.

Jon Ronson On... Uncontrollable Responses
Jon Ronson continues his look at human behaviour by finding the moments where we respond in an uncontrollable way.
