Totally awesome - Great Barrier Reef review by JD
Monty Halls may be no accomplished presenter but he clearly loves the Great Barrier Reef. There is some truly awesome wildlife footage. There is a mollusc which creeps up on fish and swallows them while they appear to offer no resistance. The poor sea cucumber has its back passage used as a refuge for eel like creatures. There are plenty of the more beautiful aspects such as the multi coloured fluorescence under UV light but it is the great camera work showing an entire episode rather than disjointed clips. How sharks seek and kill turtles. Not just the kill but how they act socially and that they know there will be plenty even though it is only for 1 day. I loved it and watched it twice.
