The Undersea World of Jacques Cousteau: Night of the Squid

on BBC One London

A film series in which the famous underwater explorer takes his oceanographic vessel Calypso on a voyage of adventure and scientific discovery.

When Calypso anchors by chance over the spawning grounds of the Pacific Coast squid, Cousteau has a unique opportunity to make a detailed study of the strange breeding behaviour of this member of the octopus family. For three days his divers witness some of the most remarkable sights as they watch the concentrated frenzy of many thousands of squid.
Produced by Les Requins Associes and Metromedia Producers Corporation (from Bristol; first shown on BBC2)
