Slimy: Hagfish, Banana Slugs, and Vampire Squids from Hell

Vampire squids create shimmering decoys, scientists defrost a 45,000 year old worm, and banana slug mucus can numb toothache.

Steve Backshall, Lizzie Daly and Sarah Roberts slide into this week's slippery episode and cover everything from whale anal syrup (be careful what you google!), exploding ants (that smell like curry) and the secret to your latest moisturiser (snail to the face, anyone?)
