Presenter Jimmy Doherty is joined by engineer Kate Bellingham, doctor of tropical medicine Chris van Tulleken, environmental scientist Liz Bonnin and zoologist Mark Carwardine. With the help of Museum staff and scientists, they reveal the dramatic, pioneering and often surprising scientific work of this much-loved institution.

The presenters meet experts from the Museum who tell the fascinating stories of exhibits such as the iconic Diplodocus, the rare and fragile Archaeopteryx and the extinct dodo. They also travel with scientists who hunt for dinosaur fossils, pond-dip for mosquitoes and re-introduce giant tortoises to Mauritius.

There are plenty of discoveries to be made among the 70 million specimens at the Museum, including hidden store rooms full of specimens and new scientific techniques for unlocking age-old secrets.
