Episode 3
John Lloyd and Jo Brand welcome fashion historian Amber Butchart, entrepreneur Jack Waley-Cohen and comic Jimeoin. From 2017.
Professor of Ignorance John Lloyd and his curator Jo Brand welcome:
* 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.
Producers: Richard Turner and James Harkin.
A BBC Studios production for BBC Radio 4, first broadcast in January 2017.
