John Lloyd and Anna Ptaszynski are joined by artist and humanitarian Hannah Rose Thomas, comedian, video game writer, animator Alasdair Beckett-King, and Paralympian Dame Sarah Storey.

Further details

Hannah Rose Thomas, a student of Arabic and history who became a portrait artist, and works in many humanitarian projects including organising art projects for refugees, donates the concept of getting lost. She offers this because it is a way of reconnecting with the world.

Alasdair Beckett-King, a stand-up comedian, an investigator of forgotten lore, and author of a murder mystery for children, provides The Red Book Of Appin, which is ever a spell book containing unknown wisdoms from the realms of Hell, or it is a guide to breeding cattle.

Dame Sarah Storey, Britain's most decorated Paralympian, and holder of 75 world records despite being told she was too old to be a swimmer at the age of 10, offers up a map of the world, which can take on many forms depending on who is looking at it.
