The original event proved extremely popular, with around 850 people attempting to hear the lecture in the Old Theatre and New Theatre (video link venue) which had a combined capacity of just short of 700. LSE apologises to those people who were unable to attend the event but hopes that the video replays will provide an opportunity for people to view Professor Sen's lecture.

The screenings of the video of Professor Sen's lecture take place as per the following:
