Story
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'. Fortunately, helping to fill its vacant plinths is a gathering of the world's most original minds. Among the guests bearing donations to the museum in these 25 episodes are Neil Gaiman, Sarah Millican, Clive James, Kate Adie, Sir Terry Pratchett, Ronni Ancona, Jon Ronson and many more.

Story
Described by the Radio Times as ‘a cross between QI and The Moral Maze’, this hilarious and thought-provoking panel show sees comedian Sue Perkins putting her guests through the moral and ethical wringer as she poses a series of tricky hypothetical questions - and cross-examines them on their answers. Would you provide an alibi for someone you hate? Would you let an annoying colleague take credit for your work if it meant they would get a job elsewhere? Is cheating on your partner ever acceptable?

In each episode, four top comedians will battle it out to see who gets to be champion. Angus Deayton is the host, valiantly trying to make sure everyone comes out of it with their reputations intact. The panellists trying to beat each other at their own games include Miles Jupp, Sara Pascoe, Andy Parsons, Rebecca Front, Russell Kane, Josie Long, Tim Key, Micky Flanagan, Bridget Christie, Alan Davies, Roisin Conaty, Sandi Toksvig, Clive Anderson, Will Self, Gyles Brandreth and Alex Horne.

Summary
What would Jonathan Agnew do if he wasn't a cricket commentator? Who would play Romesh Ranganathan in a film of his life? What's the naughtiest thing Sara Pascoe did as a child?
It's not what you know but who you know that matters...and, indeed, how well you know them. The show is a bit like ‘Mr and Mrs’, except that it's not played by husbands and wives. Instead, panellists can pick anyone they like: dad, cousin, best friend, mother-in-law.
What is Bridget Christie's worst fear? Or Ainsley Harriott's worst habit? Or Seann Walsh's worst gig?
All these burning questions, and more, will be answered in this BBC comedy panel show hosted by Miles Jupp, where panellists are tested on how well they know their nearest and dearest.
Get to know panellists such Rebecca Front, Roisin Conaty, Mark Steel, Tom Wrigglesworth, Ed Byrne, Tony Hawks, Rachel Riley, Richard Madeley, Dave Gorman, Lucy Porter, Richard Osman, Frankie Boyle, Susan Calman, Sara Cox, Katherine Ryan, Alan Johnson and Sarah Millican.

Highly enjoyable for the most part.
Great idea for a game show. Miles Jupp is very quick witted and hilariously funny. It was all going so well until Joe Lycett took over. Then it quickly went from marvellous, clever and hugely entertaining to being bland and ordinary. Thankfully Jupp hosts the majority of the shows (the first 4 series?) so it’s definitely worth getting, but Lycett’s final series is very missable.

really funny and gets better over time
the series is a good comedy show well written with plenty of banter between the host and guests.
miles jupp hosted the 1st 4 series and when it change to Joe lycett I thought it might not be as good. but I was wrong they have totally different hosting styles which both worked and they both bounced effortlessly off their guests.
Great funny for the car.

I actually do really like Joe Lycett but he was not a patch on Miles Jupp presenting. After Miles left i just did not enjoy it anywhere near as much and the guests were not as good either. I would recommend it for the Miles Jupp episodes.

Miles Jupp spoils the enjoyment
It's quite a funny panel show but it was spoiled by Miles Jupps constant stupid repetitive jokes and intros to rounds and "a lovely bunch of lads" joke IN EVERY EPISODE. I gave up after 3rd episode. Miles Jupp takes over and tries to be funnier than the guests (similar to the way Dara o'briain tries to be funnier than the guests on Mock the Week) shame.. Don't buy this, buy Bleak Expectations instead.

Funny....but......
Bought this with a credit,as I've exhausted my "ISIHAC" episodes! An interesting format,and hilarious in some parts! Celebrities pick a nominee (friend,family member) to answer questions about them,and the celeb has to guess what answer the nominee said,with sometimes hilarious results. Most of the shows are presented by Miles Jupp,who does a grand job,and is rather witty....but....whilst driving home tonight,I plugged in for another laugh on the way home,and found the programme is now being presented by Joe Lycett.....and it lost its sparkle for me. Joe's voice is extremely annoying,and to be honest,he's just not funny. I don't know if Miles Jupp presented it before or after Joe Lycett,I'm hoping it's the latter,and I hope another series is commissioned,as it is good fun. Another gripe is these "modern female comedians"....Holly Walsh,Katherine Ryan,Sara Pascoe....I just don't find them funny......but apart from that,great value! hours of entertainment for 1 credit!
