Season 1 · Episode 6

In the second episode of this week's double bill, Professor Hutton visits The Hunterian Museum & Library in Holborn. The museum is housed on the first floor of the Royal College of Surgeons. It’s one of the oldest collections of anatomical and pathological specimens in the country and is based on items first assembled by John Hunter, the 18th Century surgeon and anatomist. Then it's off to London’s Cinema Museum which is devoted to keeping alive the spirit of cinema from the days long before the multiplex. The museum also has some serious Hollywood credentials, as it’s based in the Master’s House of the old Lambeth Workhouse where Charlie Chaplin was taken as a boy, with his mother and brother.
