BBC Radio 4 - Monday 10th May 18.30
Prepare to have your synapses twisted into a string theorist's nightmare, as Professor Lloyd and his new curator, the startlingly insightful comedian Jon Richardson, hurriedly throw the dust covers off the Museum's clump of empty plinths for a brand new series of the BBC's most improving comedy panel show.
On Monday May 10th, fantasy novelist Sir Terry Pratchett offers them a Secret And Personal Extra Day Of The Week; cosmologist and author Marcus Chown donates a bizarre but plausible scientific theory of the afterlife known as the Omega Point; and Shappi Khorsandi has somehow finds herself in a position to offer none other than Charlie Chaplin.

North American Discworld Convention 2011
Location Announcement
It is with great pleasure that The Guild of Chelonavigators can now announce the location of the 2011 NADWCon, at which Sir Terry Pratchett will appear (circumstances and health permitting) as Guest of Honor!
Both Seattle, Washington and Madison, Wisconsin put forth strong proposals for hosting the next NADWCon, and the Guild would first like to thank both committees for their enthusiasm and their efforts in putting together these bids.
The Guild considered both bids very carefully before making its decision.
And now, without further ado, the winner is...
MADISON, WISCONSIN!
Among the several reasons the Guild feels confident that Madison will put on a stupendous NADWCon are the enthusiasm, convention experience, and love of all things Discworld exhibited in their bid proposal. So congratulations to Madison! We look forward to seeing great things from them.
Over the next few weeks the Guild will be working closely with Madison's committee to pass along information, resources, and advice to help them in their convention plans, and I know that they have already set to work on putting those plans in motion. So stay tuned for more news on that front soon!
Thanks again to Seattle for their interest and enthusiasm in hosting an NADWCon, and we hope to see that interest again when it comes time for 2013 convention proposals.
Cheers to all, and see you in Madison in 2011!
