Dolphin: Spy In The Pod
(John Downer Productions) 2x60’, BBC One
Executive Producer John Downer
To truly innovate in the filming of some of the world’s most
beloved animals – dolphins – the team at John Downer Productions has stopped at
nothing to get their cameras close to the animals. Following the success of
Penguins: Spy In The Huddle, this time all the spycams are disguised as sea
creatures. Tunacam, Turtlecam, Squidcam and Dolphincam are just a few examples
of an enchanting underwater menagerie, each programmed by the production team
for a different spying role. They take us closer to dolphins than ever before -
from the intimacy of a mother teaching her calf to catch fish or leap from the
water, to the drama of huge megapods, many thousands strong. They not only
reveal the tender and playful side of dolphins but also some less familiar
aggressive tendencies, as well as displays of their renowned intelligence. With
two programmes derived from hundreds of hours of innovative observational
footage, it's a very intimate ride into the deep blue. Filled with wonder and
magical encounters, this is the dolphin’s world as it hasn’t been seen before.
Dolphin: Spy in the Pod will be narrated by David Tennant.
