This show is built on the concept that the (fictional) Museum of Curiosity is a vast building with a mission statement of housing everything in the universe that is in some way curious. Each week a panel made up of entertainers and academic experts put forward their curiosities to the head of the museum John Lloyd (The Professor of Ignorance at the University of Buckingham) and his curators. In the first series, the curator was Bill Bailey. In the second series, Sean Lock took over.

The only rule for donation is that the exhibit has to be in some way curious. It doesn't matter if something is big, small, expensive, or even if it doesn't exist. Current exhibits in the Museum include a yeti, the Holy Grail, the Big Bang when it was the size of a grapefruit, and the urge to press red buttons that should not be pressed.

Our Review: A curious programme which is in many ways a spin-off from the hit TV series QI. What is mainly notable about this programme is that it not only features comedians, but it also gives guest spots to academics such as historians, mathematicians and paleontologists. However, the programme still manages to maintain an amusing edge. There are some listeners however, who feel that too much time is taken with the guests and not with the exhibits they donate.

The series has achieved a considerable following and plans are underway to build a website devoted to the show with forums, podcasts and exhibits.

In the second series Sean Lock has replaced Bill Bailey, who dropped out of the show. The first series is out on CD.

A third series, to featued another new curator, has also been commissioned for April/May 2010, and a book is being made.
