    That was better than most wildlife TV programmes. Many seem too keen on the exotic. That casual swimmy mooch through some 'local' caves and coves , all slathered in reality with loads happening, was a pleasure to watch .
    Time they offered you at least a pilot miniseries as a tester for market. That could have gone out on air with very little finessing .
    Took me back years to when my granddad and great'uncle Garb' would harvest from the rock-pools etc and cook stuff up in a metal bucket on a driftwood fire. Loved it as a kid back in the '60's .

There will always be a number of begrudgers and there isn’t an upside in worrying too much until they overtake the likes. Possibly people who don’t like seeing things killed. Keep up the good work. Educational and entertaining. Could you show us, collect and cook edible seaweed in a future episode?😉👍🦞

    Putting the scientific name of the various creatures you encounter is really good but I must point out an error on your part. At 16.25 you show a lesser spotted dogfish and you have shown the Latin name as Scyliorhinus canicla. This is incorrect, the proper scientific name is Bait Robbing Bastardio - at least that's what we call them round out neck of the woods.

I’ve caught dogfish by hand before but sneaking up on the flounder was a new one. I find the key is calm. Fish can sense an attack by the way things move. So a calm approach and the right angle. 😉👍🏻🐟
