Museum of Curiosity to open

BBC Radio 4 has commissioned a full series of the panel game The Professor of Curiosities, now titled The Museum of Curiosity.

The original pilot saw QI creator and producer John Lloyd as the Professor of Curiosity, who judged whether or not certain things, presented by a range of famous guests, are good enough to go inside his online museum.

Now the museum is run jointly by Lloyd and Bill Bailey. The series will also feature lots of bizarre and curious facts provided by the QI research team (known as 'The QI Elves').

The series is to be recorded next month. Tickets are available from the BBC website.
