BBC Radio 4 - Nature Table, Series 4, 1: Dogs, Ducks and a Chunk of the Moon

Join comedian and writer Sue Perkins as she hosts her award-winning comedy Nature Table: a funny ‘Show & Tell’ series celebrating the natural world and all its eccentricities.

In this first episode of a new series, ducks’ super vaginas and a meteorite that’s the key to how life on Earth started wow the team.

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

Starting the series off, we’re at the Natural History Museum. Sue is joined by special guests: comedian Desiree Burch, science writer Jules Howard and the NHM’s curator of meteorites Dr. Natasha Almeida.

Our varied subjects include: Dogs, a meteorite that can explain how life started on Earth, Ducks’ vaginas (with Sue studying one up close courtesy of a VR headset) and moon rock. 

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 giggle.
