主持人吉米·多尔蒂走进英国自然历史博物馆的幕后，与博物馆工作人员进行近距离交流，探索该馆浩瀚藏品的秘密。 博物馆幕后是如何运作的？为何要保存7000万余件标本？馆中科学家们的研究工作，与当今世界有何关联？他们为保护生物多样性、防止热带传染病，又做出了何种贡献？
Jimmy Doherty gets to grips with Darwin's finches and Dippy the Diplodocus.
Jimmy Doherty and the team find out about the discovery of a new dinosaur, the latest thinking on the personality of a T Rex, and what scientists are learning from a human skull over a hundred thousand years old.
