“Clearly we got a little tongue-tied because we were making up dates, names, and even inventing species.”
Viewers were then shown a montage of blunders made by the hosts from across the series, including Chris referring to the year as 2020 and Michaela accidentally calling a long-tailed tit a "long tit tail".

Chris joked: "You go into your little corner and there you are, necking it down!”
