Join Professor John Lloyd and curators Jimmy Carr, Humphrey Ker, Phill Jupitus and Sarah Millican as they plunge down the badger hole of ignorance in a search for the universe's most mind-boggling oddnesses. The Museum of Curiosity is BBC Radio 4's monumental comedy edifice and the only one with gargoyles in the foyer. It allows nothing inside that doesn't make you scratch your head, stroke your chin or, at the very least, go 'hmm'.

It allows nothing inside that doesn’t make you scratch your head, stroke your chin or, at the very least, go ‘hmm’. Fortunately, helping to fill its almost vacant plinths is a gathering of the world’s most original minds.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 5
Over the course of the series, David eats his lunchtime sandwiches with children in a primary school and later goes to a street market to see manners - good and bad - in action. He explores where our manners come from with Professor Steven Pinker from Harvard University and the author Henry Hitchings. What do we mean by 'civility' and 'good manners' in public places? Why are people still pinching vicars' bottoms, and what can the state do to improve standards of public behaviour? And, David asks, how is the digital age changing our sense of public space?

Not complete
Each track ends approximately 6 minuets into a 30 minuet program and then moves to the next program automatically.

Great Title, but missing a few episodes
The show itself is entertaining and interesting. However, it is missing a few episodes. Frustrating, but still worth the money.

Not sure how I feel about this one
This is somewhat of a spinoff of the awesome QI show and that's the problem as much as I enjoyed the show, it does come off as QI Lite and I haven't decided if that's a bad thing or not.

Good, funny, thinky entertainment
This radio series fits nicely in the family of QI on TV and the No Such Thing as a Fish podcast. Interesting guests, some of whom I knew, many of whom (scientists and experts) I did not.
Great fodder for falling down Wikipedia holes.
Will be buying the next batch now.
