Museum of Life gives viewers an inside look at the Natural History Museum and some of the 300 or more scientists who work here. Cameras follow them on collecting expeditions around the world, as they hunt for dinosaur fossils and study the biodiversity of remote areas. But there are also plenty of discoveries to be made at the Museum itself, including hidden store rooms full of specimens, and high tech science facilities, such as the DNA labs. Find out about the huge variety of plants and animals that scientists study here, and why they are important for conservation efforts today.
About the presenters: As a young man, Jimmy Doherty (Jimmy's Farm, Jimmy Doherty in Darwin's Garden, Jimmy's Global Harvest) worked as a volunteer at the Natural History Museum in South Kensington. Now he returns to join the Museum scientists and find out how much has changed. He is joined by engineer Kate Bellingham (Tomorrow's World), doctor of tropical medicine Chris van Tulleken (Medicine Men), conservationist Liz Bonnin (Bang Goes the Theory) and zoologist Mark Carwardine (Last Chance to See).

Two early/mid 1970s bloopers, the first with Julie Andrews telling someone to "piss off", when something seems to have gone awry while filming a variety program of some sorts, followed by a Tonight Show commercial segment blooper with Johnny Carson and Ed Mcmahon. They're shilling for the Vicks Company, but they start to play with making profane names for a "women's feminine product" called "Dismiss". Johnny has some other more raunchier as he goes on suggestions for the name of the product. Funny, adult stuff and it's strange to hear the great Johnny use blue language! LINK: Youtube
As one of the last black string bands in the U.S. – and the only one currently based in NYC – the Ebony Hillbillies keep an important legacy alive with a rootsy, homegrown style that many forget was a key element in the genesis of all the music we cherish as uniquely American: jazz, blues, bluegrass, rockabilly, rock and roll, and country.
