*  A fashion historian with a taste for nautical chic, Amber Butchart
*  A quizzer with a business head and 57 trillion entries in his address book, Jack Waley-Cohen;
*  A comedian who's as big Down Under as he is internationally, Jimeoin.

The Museum's Guest Committee investigate a failed cure for malaria that made the world go crazy for mauve; an inventive use of adverbs that will obsess inventive punsters; and a new unit of velocity for compressed curd.

Researched by Anne Miller of QI and Mike Turner.
