4: Super Snails and Party Beetles

Episode 4 of 6

Join Sue Perkins for her award-winning comedy series Nature Table, the funny show-and-tell series celebrating the natural world and all its funny eccentricities.

In this episode, Sue and the Nature Table team return to London’s Natural History Museum.

Giant Squids’ doughnut-shaped brains, Burying Beetles who like to party, Super Snails and Rescue Pigeons all feature.

Sue is joined by special guests: NHM’s Senior Curator of Molluscs Jon Ablett, Zoologist and EDI consultant Dr. Tanesha Allen & comedian Jess Fostekew.

Nature Table has a simple clear brief: to positively celebrate and promote the importance of all our planet’s wonderfully wild flora and fauna in a fun and easily grasped way... whilst at the same time having a proper giggle.

For this series of Sue Perkins’ ARIA-winning ‘Show and Tell’ wildlife comedy, Team Nature Table have recorded at the Natural History Museum, Kew Gardens and London Zoo.
