In this episode, Sue and the Nature Table team visit ZSL London Zoo.

Super-strong wild camels, sea spiders that can regrow body parts and the sex-lives of kakapo and green spoonworms all feature and wow Sue and the invited audience.

Sue is joined by special guests: broadcaster & zoologist Megan McCubbin, Professor of entomology Karim Vahed of Buglife and comedian Zoe Lyons.

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.
