Johnny Ball introduces some more young people with unusual hobbies to this week's panel: Catherine Elcombe Tara Redmond Stephen Mullen and Darren Traynor Etymologists may care to note that this programme does not feature any argyrothecologists, dendrochronologists or acarologists, but should be of considerable interest to eaologists and morologists!
