First transmitted in 1954, Manchester Museum challenges a panel of experts to identify a series of unusual objects. The programme is chaired by Glyn Daniel, Fellow of St John's College, Cambridge. The experts are Dr G. H. S. Bushnell (Curator of Cambridge University's Museum of Archaeology and Ethnology), Dr F. Rainey (Director of the Philadelphia University Museum) and Sir Mortimer Wheeler (Professor of Archaeology, University of London).
