BBC - Ocean Giants (2011)



Information
Ocean Giants
Ground-breaking documentary granting a unique and privileged access into the magical world of whales
and dolphins, uncovering the secrets of their intimate lives as never before. Doug Allan has been
swimming with marine mammals for over 35 years. He spent seven years in Antarctica as a research
diver, scientist and photographer for the British Antarctic Survey, before changing direction to
full time filming in 1985. In 1986, Jacques Cousteau invited Didier Noirot to join the diving team
of the Calypso on their first expedition to New Zealand. Didier worked as a stills photographer for
the first two years and then became Cousteau’s Director of underwater cinematography on more than 20
documentaries.Narrated by Stephen Fry

Part 1: Giant Lives
This episode explores the intimate details of the largest animals that have ever lived on our
planet- the great whales. From the balmy waters of the Indian Ocean to the freezing seas of the
Arctic, two daring underwater cameramen - Doug Allan, Planet Earth's polar specialist, and Didier
Noirot, Cousteau's front-line cameraman - come face-to-face with fighting humpback whales and
two-hundred-ton feeding blue whales. Teaming up with top whale scientists, Giant Lives discovers why
southern right whales possess a pair of one-ton testicles, why the arctic bowhead can live to over
two hundred years old and why size truly matters in the world of whales.
