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.
