Manuel chips in enthusiastically with an impish grin, saying that the new systems that he too firmly believes will emerge will be the "next stage in humanity's evolution".Conscious robots, he believes, "are our progeny. Down the road, machines like these will be entities that will be on Earth and maybe on other planets when we are no longer around".

David Chalmers – Professor of Philosophy and Neural Science at New York University – defined the distinction between real and apparent consciousness at a conference in Tucson, Arizona in 1994. He laid out the "hard problem" of working out how and why any of the complex operations of brains give rise to conscious experience, such as our emotional response when we hear a nightingale sing.Prof Chalmers says that he is open to the possibility of the hard problem being solved."The ideal outcome would be one where humanity shares in this new intelligence bonanza," he tells the BBC. "Maybe our brains are augmented by AI systems."

On the sci-fi implications of that, he wryly observes: "In my profession, there is a fine line between science fiction and philosophy".Prof Seth, however, is exploring the idea that true consciousness can only be realised by living systems.

"A strong case can be made that it isn't computation that is sufficient for consciousness but being alive," he says.

"In brains, unlike computers, it's hard to separate what they do from what they are." Without this separation, he argues, it's difficult to believe that brains "are simply meat-based computers".The show began with a montage of former Everton and Spurs striker Lineker's goals and later looked back on highlights of his time at the helm of Match of the Day.

This included him famously presenting a segment while wearing only his Leicester City boxer shorts, as he had promised, after his boyhood team won the Premier League in 2016.His longstanding sidekicks Shearer and Richards also paid tribute at the end, introducing a montage that included testimonies from the likes of Alan Hansen, Ian Wright and Paul Gascgoine as well as the late Johan Cruyff, singer Andrea Bocelli and Lineker's sons.

"You don't believe it but you will be missed," offered Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola in the same VT, while Liverpool captain Virgil Van Dijk described the outgoing host as "a legend.""You've been great to me and you've been unbelievable to Match of the Day," added Shearer. "So whatever you choose to do on Saturdays, good luck, and we'll miss you."
