Noel Fielding is to take over from Sarah Millican as the curator on the next series of Radio 4’s Museum of Curiosity.

The panel show in which guests submit an item of interest will return on July 29, as always hosted by QI creator John Lloyd.

Producers Richard Turner and James Harkin said: 'We are thrilled and surreally excited to be joined by Noel Fielding, the dandy highwayman of comedy himself.'

Bill Bailey was the curator of the first series in 2008, followed by Sean Lock, Jon Richardson, Dave Gorman, Jimmy Carr, Humphrey Ker and Phill Jupitus.

New episodes will be recorded at BBC Radio Theatre in Broadcasting House from May 2. Click here for audience tickets.
