Seas of Life - Part 1 (Region 1 Import DVD, Widescreen Version ed.)

Programme 1 - Introduction "Our planet is a blue planet," says David Attenborough. "Over 70 per cent of it is covered by the sea and the Pacific Ocean alone covers half the globe." The oceans dominate the world's weather systems, and support an enormous variety of life, from the largest animal that has ever lived on Earth, the blue whale, to the tiniest plankton. Programme 2 - The Deep Sixty per cent of the Earth's surface is covered by ocean more than a mile deep, and only a handful of submarines are capable of diving that deep. More people have travelled in to space than have ventured in to the deep. The Blue Planet takes a journey in to the abyss where there are strange creatures straight out of Alien. These animals have never been filmed before and some are new to science.
