The Secret Life of Sharks

Brian Cox and Robin Ince are joined by naturalist Steve Backshall to find out about what sharks get up to when we鈥檙e not looking.

Brian Cox and Robin Ince find out about the apex predators of the ocean. They are joined by physiological ecologist Lucy Hawkes, shark scientist Isla Hodgson and naturalist Steve Backshall. They learn about the surprising social behaviours of sharks, how they reproduce and exactly how long they have been around for - they鈥檙e even older than dinosaurs! Brian and Robin hear about Steve鈥檚 experience of diving with over 100 species of shark. Is their reputation as cold blooded killers accurate?
