John Lloyd and Alice Levine are joined by comedian and actor Eddie Izzard, Natural History Museum curator Miranda Lowe and doctor and author Dr Roopa Farooki.

Further details

Miranda Lowe, scientist, and Natural History Museum curator covering coral and crustaceans, donates to the Museum a moon jellyfish. Despite the name, they are not fish. They also have no brains, bones or blood.

Dr Roopa Farooki, a novelist who has recently gone back to university to train as a doctor, offers up a virtual reality patient. It wasn't until recently that VR was used in medicine.

Eddie Izzard, transgender comedian, actor, screenwriter, marathon runner, wannabe politician, provides the centre of the universe, which Eddie believes is everywhere. He represents this using the film that forms on the surface of a cup of tea.
