Title: Spy in the Ocean BBC TV
Post by: Tug Fanatic on June 20, 2023, 03:59:50 pm

Has anybody else been watching the "Spy in the Ocean" series on BBC1 Sunday 1900?
The whole programme is a great spectacle but the models (Spies) are really interesting and some are truly eye catching. Well worth a catch up if you have missed the first 3 episodes.

I've loved the series so far, one of the best I've ever seen. I hope they make some separate programs about creating the models/ creatures, and If they do, that they won't dumb it down as often happens with anything technical.

I saw the one with the 'mechanical crab' impressive bit of modelling engineering!

... I do find the dumbed down / repetitive narration a bit tedious ....

"I hope they make some separate programs about creating the models/ creatures, and If they do, that they won't dumb it down as often happens with anything technical."

    Problem is, as with anything 'Technical', the limited appeal when competing against such gems as 'Luv Island' and 'I'm celibate, give me a time slot' Even 'The Repair Shop' etc. is sketchy.
