Watched some of it, came in a bit late and missed a bit near the end as I suddenly got sick.
It was a really good watch, liked the start much better than the end of it though. While I am not someone who believes that the footage of animals getting killed should not be shown, I'd like a warning so I can look away. Which was given most of the time, so I missed a fair few shootings ... but there was no warning what so ever for the baby seal getting clubbed. Which was, quite disturbing.

I was absolutely amazed at the first underwater footage though. How brilliant must that have been? To be on portable oxygen for the first time, and shoot underwater.

The 2 hours were definatly entertaining =)

for those that missed it
it is on again at 20:30 tonight on BBC4

I do wish some kind of warning was given about the seal scene
but admire the producers for including such shocking images
what I found odd was there was no mention of Jacues Cousteu
and his contribution to underwater filming

what I found odd was there was no mention of Jacues Cousteu
and his contribution to underwater filming
