No question is too ridiculous, surreal or weird for Vic Reeves and his team of extraordinary researchers to answer. So the Ministry is the place to go if you want to know if dinosaurs will ever return, whether you can dance in space, or which is the coolest dog on telly. Today, Vic applies his humour to questions involving teeth, diamonds and curious competitions.
