watch the repeats if it comes on again it was a brilliant watch
Some truly awesome footage of basking sharks - what an amazing experience to swim so close to such gentle giants! Obviously slightly different matter if you are tiny zooplankton.

Birding is for everyone no matter how good or bad we are at it,enjoy it while you can
Some stunning underwater images of the basking sharks. Spider crabs coming into Stackpole Harbour in Pembs were also fascinating as were the colourful anemones. Wasn't quite sure about the relevance of parking a supertanker in Liverpool Docks though.

This was interesting but as you say not sure of the relevance to the rest of the programme
