In the second episode, Professor Hutton visits The Grant Museum and The Magic Circle Museum. The Grant Museum is the only remaining university zoological museum in London. It houses around 67,000 animal specimens, and is packed with all manner of skeletons and stuffed creatures from all corners of the earth. The Magic Circle museum is housed within the Magic Circle Headquarters, tucked away in a back street next to Euston Station. It has a wonderful collection of props and tricks dating back to Victorian times.
