This is the Technical Difficulties, we're playing 'Citation Needed'.

Joining me today, he reads books y'know, it's Chris Joel.

I've... still not put it together in the right order, I'll try for the second show.

Everybody's favourite Gary Brannan, Gary Brannan.

And standing in for Matt Gray, the Mouth from the South, Will Seaward.

In front of me I have an article from Wikipedia and these folks can't see it.

Every fact they get right is a point and a ding

and there's a prize for a particularly good answers, which is...

And today we are talking about the Stephens Island wren.

This is really terrible! The lady navy(!)

Just for those who don't have their British naval history there... 'the lady navy'?

That was like a car at the start of a Formula 1 race,

I can't remember the acronym. I get the…

Is it just Women's Royal Navy, is that it? There's no E.

The Women's Royal Naval Service, the WRNS.

It was 1993, apparently, when it all got unified.

This has nothing to do with the Stephens Island wren,

but as a cheap joke that started the show, well done.

S***, I should have gone for plane first, shouldn't I?

How the frig is he getting points as easy as that this time?!

The common wren is troglodytes troglodytes. So I thought if it was a wren,

it would probably be troglodytes something-elsesius.

Alright, what we have here is Chris Joel, ornithologist.

When I say, "Ornith", you say, "Ologist." Ornith!

That's the first time that's ever been used right though,

because usually I haven't a f***ing clue.

Well, in this case, unfortunately, you are wrong.

The Eurasian wren is troglodytes troglodytes,

this is the Stephens Island wren, traversia lyalli.

Will, you have slotted into Matt's seat just perfectly.

You actually had a buzz cut didn't you, before you went in?

The man was clean shaven and five foot one.

The Stephens Island wren, gentlemen, a long time ago…

So far we've established it's a bird on Stephens Island that's a wren, basically, haven't we?

Yes. Well, its last refuge was Stephens Island.

Was it on the run for a horrific crime it had committed?

No, it had three other friends though and they drove around in a black and red van

and if you needed their help, you know, they'd save sparrows and s***.

Well, they wouldn't fly would they? So it'd be like an ostrich or a penguin or something.

Because the Stephens Island wren is flightless and I'm giving you a point for that!

Has it learned not to fly since being on Stephens Island, it being an island,

"Oh, s***, I've flown again! I wish I could forget this bollocks!"

Well, maybe it didn't like it! Maybe it didn't like heights.

Yes, that's not forgetting is it? That's proactively…

Is there a difference though? Between actively forgetting and unlearning?

"Today, bird dat don't fly. He forget or did he learn it?"

It's also known as Lyall's wren. Why would its last refuge be Stephens Island?

Yes, but not that… I mean this is a wren…

There have only ever been five species of flightless songbirds found.

For the Stephens Island wren in particular by what?

Was it eaten by pests that were introduced by humans?

Yes, absolutely right. Any particular pests?
