Great Barrier Reef

Here's something to look forward to on BBC TV after all the seasonal tripe has gone the way of that nauseatingly cute sprout. On 20 December Sir David Attenborough's new three-part wildlife programme The Great Barrier Reef begins ar 9pm. He goes down in a state-of-the-art submersible capable of descending to 3,300 feet below the waves. Shown is Sir David on location (CLICK).
