Producer of nature documentaries John Downer returns with new bigger and better animal spies to take a closer look at creatures living in the ocean in BBC show
After Spy In The Wild enthralled viewers, the team have turned their attention to our oceans, deploying bigger, better and more sophisticated animatronic spy creatures.
“What the spy creatures do is get you into their heads and that’s always a dream. We’re all part of this world, and it’s important to recognise that in this world of crisis, we have all these animals out there to be valued and respected.” “We suddenly had a police officer turn up and say, ‘We’ve been having reports that there’s been a group of people smuggling dolphins.’ We showed the dolphin, and sometimes it was a bit animated as well, so he had to have a closer look because it was so believable. We nearly got arrested!”
Another creature is spy octopus which builds a relationship with a coconut octopus. It uses its brainpower to steal the coconut shell carried by the spy and uses it as the door to its secret hideaway. “With spy octopus, we had to be very cautious about introducing it to the wild population,” explains Philip.
