Mysteries, dinosaurs, diamonds and extinction

As a young man, Jimmy Doherty worked as a volunteer at London’s Natural History Museum. Now he returns to join the 350 scientists who work with a collection of 70 million objects to try to understand the complexities and resolve some of the problems of the natural world. As BBC television cameras are granted unprecedented access to the Natural History Museum, vaults are opened, stories unfold and mysteries unravel. Shot in the museum and locations all over the UK and around the world, Jimmy traces the dramatic, pioneering and often surprising scientific work of a much-loved institution.
