1: Puffins, Armadillos and the badass Tongue-eating louse

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.
