Must have just been a lucky shot...or an expensive one.
It's not as if it's worth it, mind you. Attenborough series get sold and re-sold all over the world, and they well deserve it. They may cost the Beeb a lot of money, but they make the Beeb a lot of money, too. And, let's be honest, they deserve to.

What a strange world, this is.
When it reaches the sea floor, why does it stretch out in a single line, rather than spread out?
I was thinking perhaps current, but then I'd have thought the "brynecicle" would have been affected too.
