Crisis comes to The Egg when the prison is attacked by a pair of mating whales.

It's all hands to the pump as Harry races to save the prison from a pair of mating whales. Stars Harry Hill. From 2018.

When a rare pair of whales start ramming The Egg as part of their mating ritual, Harry and the team are forced to take evasive action to save the prison.
