November 22, 20177 yr Portuguese man o' war were the things that intrigued me most this week - stunning their prey with their sting infused barely visible tentacles that dangle behind them, drawing them up and then liquifying them whilst they are still conscious but paralysed. Niiiiiccee. *Shudders*

November 23, 20177 yr the dolphin carrying her dead baby was actually one of the saddest things i've ever seen broadcast on tv. wow.
November 23, 20177 yr Author Indeed, if any show genuinely makes me feel horrible for being human, it's this :( I mean, it's so stunning to look at and take in, which just makes the reality that it's fading all the more tragic, still, the fact it's been so successful hopefully mean it's message is getting out there. I do wish the 'Making of' segment was longer, honestly almost every shot has me wondering how on earth they did it, I could honestly watch a whole programme on just that.
December 4, 20177 yr I think this week's made up creature was a bit more subtle. I reckon it was that yellow submarine scuttling along the bottom in the bit about the starfish.

Does anyone know whether the "Making of" part is shown separately in some countries? I suspect it may be tacked on to the end of our version to fill the gap in a one-hour slot filled by commercial breaks elsewhere. Those countries could then show the whole lot as a separate programme. It could explain why the series is seven episodes rather than the more normal six or eight.

They're repeating BP1 on Yesterday at present at 6pm on Sundays and the Making Of bit isn't shown at the end.

The extra bit is always omitted when shows like this are repeated on natural history channels.
December 10, 20177 yr Watching this now and, while I know this is an important story to tell, I'm really gutted as I've been looking forward to seeing more fantastic new footage.
