In this episode, Sue and the Nature Table team visit Kew Gardens for an entertaining botanical special.

Crime-solving brambles, radioactive houseplants, scheming water lilies, hallucinogenic flowers and life-saving seagrass all feature and wow Sue and the invited audience.

Sue is joined by special guests: ethnobotanist James Wong, forensic botanist Mark Spencer and comedian Lucy Porter.

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.
