We all know Aidan Turner has a beautiful voice and now we'll be able to hear a little bit more of it as Aidan  has joined BBC Radio 4s A History of Ideas.  Aidan will voice some of the animations that accompany the series talking about philosophical concepts like What Is Love? Should You Believe in Miracles? and Wittgenstein's Beetle in a Box analogy.

Aidan says,  "I think it’s a great project to be involved in. The scripts are witty, clever and very sharp; they’re ideal for a quick hit if you want to know what some of the heavy weights of intellectual history were about and how their ideas formed debate and influenced the minds of future generations."

Stephen Fry, Gillian Anderson and Harry Shearer have added their voices to the animations in previous series.

A History of Ideas will air on BBC Radio  4 in July.
