1: Puffins, Armadillos and the badass Tongue-eating louse
Join comedian and writer Sue Perkins as she hosts her award-winning comedy Nature Table: a funny show-and-tell series celebrating the natural world and all its eccentricities.
In this first episode of a new series, puffins’ super beaks and the badass Tongue-eating water louse wow and stupefy the team.
‘Sue Perkins’ Nature Table - possibly the funniest “natural science” series, ever.’ Pick of the Week, The Telegraph
For this new series of Sue Perkins’ ARIA-winning ‘Show and Tell’ wildlife comedy, Team Nature Table is joined by special guests: comedian Amy Gledhill, zoologist Lucy Cooke and entomologist Professor Karim Vahed of Buglife.
This episode’s varied subjects include: Puffins and their disposable beaks, Snails’ love darts, intrepid Armadillos and the fiendishly parasitic Tongue-eating louse.
Nature Table has a simple clear brief: to positively celebrate our planet’s wonderfully wild (and funny) flora and fauna in a fun accessible way... whilst at the same time having a giggle.
