Oceans

The hidden stories of the planet's oceans are told in this landmark BBC series. Oceans are the blue
life-blood of the world, vital for the health of the planet and everything that lives on it. Although
they cover two thirds of the globe, weve explored only a fraction.
In Oceans a team of intrepid adventurers explorer and expedition leader Paul Rose, maritime
archaeologist Dr Lucy Blue, marine biologist Tooni Mahto and conservationist Philippe Cousteau
Jnr, grandson of Jacques Cousteau undertake a journey to discover the world beneath the waves.
Living together on a dive boat, the team share their achievements, and frustrations, in each
expedition.
Using cutting-edge technology, they explore ancient wrecks that tell tales of piracy past and
present. They use remote controlled model helicopters to investigate the germs in a whales sneeze
and dive in unique geological cave formations that reveal the chequered history of one of the
planets most ancient seas. And they go in search for some of the worlds most endangered
species.
