Episode 11 brings us to new depths of expertise, let’s just be clear about this from the outset. I can’t contain my excitement. It’s Roger Horrocks, Roger Horrocks joined me on the show to talk about filming Blue Planet, one of the most visually spectacular things i’ve ever seen on television. I’ve never seen behind the scenes that was as interesting if not in some cases more interesting than the show at times. The lengths that this team goes to in order to get the shot are remarkable to say the very least. Weeks and months at sea in order to get minutes of footage. Of course it’s not a task single handedly taken on by Mr Horrocks, he’s part of a fantastic team of natural history filmmakers that combined have turned around some of the best work in existence on the subject. He talks about his experience of working with what I can safely say would be the most qualified mentor in underwater exploration, Didier Noirot. Who worked with none other than Jacques Cousteau. So it’s really of no surprise to see the level that Roger attains considering that pedigree. I forgot to ask him what it was like to have his footage narrated by David Attenborough so you’ll just have to ask him yourself. He managed to squeeze us in amidst being constantly out at sea so I’m incredibly grateful to be able to bring you guys this week's episode. Although i’ve dropped myself in it by saying that i’ll join him in the water sometime and I can barely swim.
