Professor of Ignorance John Lloyd and his curator Holly Walsh welcome:

* Comedian and writer, Daliso Chaponda
* Anaesthetist and space medicine specialist, Dr Kevin Fong
* Chief Fire Officer of the West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service and neuroscientist, Dr Sabrina Cohen-Hatton

Daliso explains how jokes have got him into some seriously hot water and discovers how many anagrams there are of his name.

Sabrina discusses how experiencing homelessness as a teenager led her to the fire service and her love of Xoloitzcuintlis (Mexican hairless) dogs.

And Dr Kevin Fong explores how an air ambulance could work in space and donates a special tribute to the NHS teams working devotedly through the COVID 19 crisis.

This series was recorded remotely.
