Review

Jane Rackham

No preview was available, but this sounds like the stuff of nightmares. The press information opens with, “Lurking in the dark abyss, at depths of over 1,000 metres or more, are giants that are rarely seen…until now.”

Tonight, Steve Backshall learns about the wonderfully named stoplight loosejaw, while a second programme tomorrow features giant squids with three hearts and the curious cookiecutter shark. The latter may sound cute, but it’s been known to attack killer whales.
