The Enlightenment

Episode 2 of 4

The comedian sets out to validate herself through 18th-century philosophy - even her frog collection. From February 2009.

Josie explores the history of collecting things and discovers the Enlightenment.

She tries to defy her student past, by becoming more scientific and takes controversial anatomist Professor Gunther von Hagens to task for being a "demon with ready access to plasticine".
