One such item in episode two is shown by senior insects curator Dr Erica McAlister and it requires a microscope to truly appreciate: fleas, dressed in tiny outfits, as if attending a wedding, all handmade by nuns in 19th-century Mexico. But as the museum’s collection contains more than 80 million items, many have never been, and might never be, on display. There are appearances from the NHM’s stars, including Dippy the Diplodocus, along with new additions for the museum’s Fantastic Beasts exhibit. Through chemical analysis, principal curator of mammals Richard Sabin is able to reveal the path of Hope’s final journey and discovers she wasn’t alone on the trip. She is truly the inanimate star of episode one, with her story the subject of intense scientific research. Watching the programme, though, feels almost exactly like stepping once again into the Hintze Hall, where the skeleton of Hope, a whale, hangs from the ceiling. While many viewers will have visited the museum (NHM) in London, few will have been lucky enough to get a glimpse inside the 140-year- old building during the pandemic. “Welcome to the Natural History Museum as you’ve never seen it before,” says the narrator of this new four-part series. © Trustees of the Natural History Museum, London Read our full review of Chris Packham's Animal Einsteins.Watch on Chris Packham's Animal Einsteins on BBC iPlayer or Amazon Prime Video.It’s another must-watch Attenborough mini-series, delivering maximum visual impact and a poignant conclusion that we must protect the vibrancy of the natural world.
