2: Crime-solving brambles and radioactive houseplants
Join Sue Perkins for her award-winning comedy series Nature Table: the funny ‘show & tell’ series celebrating the natural world and all its funny eccentricities.
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.
