The Museum of Curiosity: Series 17: The BBC Radio Comedy Panel Show

"The seventeenth series of the much-loved panel show, in which a cast of curious minds and comic voices donate extraordinary exhibits to an ever-expanding imaginary museum. Join Professor of Ignorance John Lloyd and curator Anna Ptaszynski as they open the doors once again to a collection of the strange, the surprising and the delightfully unclassifiable. Across six episodes, a distinguished line-up of guests – including Miriam Margolyes, Chris McCausland, Rosie Holt, Carlo Rovelli, Dame Sarah Storey and Alfie Moore – present their chosen additions, sparking conversations that roam from science and history to culture, philosophy and the outright absurd. Among the proposed exhibits: a fruit fly that could save your life; a wonder of the ancient world alongside a relic of 1990s nostalgia; the never was, the may be, …and a jar of marmalade. Each donation opens a rich seam of insight and humour, as the panel explore life’s oddities with wit, intelligence and a sense of the unexpected. As ever, the Museum’s galleries are filled not with objects you can see, but ideas you won’t forget – brought to life by some of the most engaging voices in comedy, science and the arts. Production credits Presented by John Lloyd Curated by Anna Ptaszynski Exhibits catalogued by Mike Turner, Mandy Fenton and Lydia Mizon of QI Executive Producer: James Robinson Produced by Sam Holmes and Leying Lee Production Co-ordinator: Sarah Nicholls Sound: David Thomas A BBC Studios production First broadcast BBC Radio 4, 20 February - 27 March 2023 ©2026 BBC Studios Distribution Ltd (P)2026 BBC Studios Distribution Ltd"

"Die Zukunft - trotz aller Errungenschaften so ungewiss wie nie zuvor. Im 22. Jahrhundert hat die Menschheit Raumstationen in der Unendlichkeit errichtet und erforscht das Sonnensystem - bemüht, im Weltall das zerbrechliche Gleichgewicht aufrechtzuerhalten, das auf der Erde zwischen den zwei Machtblöcken existiert: der 'Union' und den 'Republiken'.
