4: Common Frogs & Promiscuous Oaks

Episode 4 of 6

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

In this episode Sue checks out Common Frogs, promiscuous Oak Trees and a regenerating, time-travelling animal that’s only a 1/10th of a millimetre – the Rotifer.

‘Sue Perkins’ Nature Table - possibly the funniest “natural science” series, ever.’ Pick of the Week, The Telegraph

Joining Sue Perkins at the BBC Radio Theatre, this episode of the ARIA-winning ‘Show and Tell’ wildlife comedy features special guests: US comedian and actress Desiree Burch, Zoologist and science writer Jules Howard and Kevin Martin – Head of Tree Collections at the Royal Botanic Gardens at Kew.

Nature Table has a simple clear goal: to positively celebrate our planet’s wonderfully wild (and funny) flora and fauna in a fun accessible way... whilst always having a giggle.
