Competition – Win Blue Planet 2 DVDs

Following up from the ground-breaking 2001 BBC documentary series ‘Blue Planet’, Blue Planet 2 was one of 2017’s most talked-about pieces of television. Whether it was the stunning underwater filming, the shocking ecological messages or David Attenborough’s amazing narration, anybody who saw the series will remember what a stunning piece of work it was.

Here’s the “prequel” film created for the show, to get you in the mood:

Featuring 7, hour-long episodes (including a ten minute ‘making of’ segment, showing some of the behind the scenes magic that made the show) the series follows-on from its 2001 predecessor to visit seas and oceans all over the globe, exploring the lives of the weird and wonderful creatures that inhabit them.

The series took a whopping four years to film and create, and involved 125 separate expeditions to almost 40 different countries. Apparently, the crew spent an amazing 6,000 hours filming underwater!

As a long-time fan of the Cbeebies show ‘Octonauts’, a number of the more unusual creatures were already familiar to my family and I, from the amazing jumping Blennies to the Humboldt squid, and not forgetting the amazing deep-sea Siphonophore

If you weren’t lucky enough to see the show when it originally aired – or perhaps you want to relive it all again – I’ve got some good news for you! Thanks to the lovely people at BGO slots, who are clearly fans of good quality television, I’ve got 2 copies of the Blue Planet 2 DVD to give away!
