I'm told a Beeb documentary crew have been back in town in recent days. supposed to be heading up country and over to the Island this week. I'd like to burn their ears for an hour or two :)

also another crew is hoping to start field work on BC's fisheries and the challenges in particular, I suspect ch 4 ( ITV).

Sky TV did some work, a couple of years ago, focusing on the sea farming, but heard that was binned before airing. Hmm wonder why  ::)

There is plenty more to do at the Aquarium than just watch a movie.

Hey, it might even come with a rotting fish smell too at the end.  Might as well make it authentic.

From my experience stay away from 4d unless you enjoy being sprayed in the face And prodded in the back. I think somewhere around 30% get up and leave. I will never go back tithe one in the aquarium it was not fun!!
