John Lloyd and Sarah Millican welcome Holly Walsh, Stephen J Dubner and Dr David Bramwell.

John Lloyd and Sarah Millican with comedian Holly Walsh, author Stephen J Dubner and adventurer Dr David Bramwell. From 2016.

Professor of Ignorance John Lloyd and his curator Sarah Millican welcome:

*  Holly Walsh, comedian and would-be medieval scholar
*  Stephen J. Dubner, co-author of Freakonomics, a best-selling book that turned our understanding of economics on its head
*  Dr David Bramwell, author, comic, and adventurer whose book The No 9 Bus To Utopia recounts his year-long pilgrimage in search of a Better Life.

The Museum's Guest Committee speculate on what drove medieval monks to draw obscene doodles on sacred manuscripts; why a mind-reading microchip could see the end of civilisation as we know it; and an interesting theory about who all those streakers were at 1970s sports events.

Researchers: Anne Miller and Molly Oldfield of QI.

Producers:  Richard Turner and James Harkin.

A BBC Radio Comedy production for BBC Radio 4 first broadcast in January 2016.

The Museum of Curiosity: Series 8

Intelligent speech, the most insightful journalism, the wittiest comedy, the most fascinating features and the most compelling drama and readings anywhere in UK radio.

Professor of Ignorance John Lloyd and curator Phill Jupitus discuss some new curiosities.
