To the Islands of the Sea Wolf
The expedition disembarks at one of Mexico's remotest island groups just as the sea wolves - the Californian sea lions - are pupping. The San Benito islands are also home to the northern sea elephant, an animal which has made a remarkable recovery from the brink of extinction, increasing its numbers 800-fold in 80 years.
The islands' storm petrels are of a kind found nowhere else in the world and yet they come ashore at night in millions, running the rare risk of dying at the hands of a strange cactus.

A See-Saw programme by ROGER HARGREAVES
2: The 20s and 30s saw ever-increasing ocean travel. The Bremen took the blue riband on her maiden voyage in 1929 and Germany re-emerged as a strong challenger on the North Atlantic run. The French replied with the Normandie and Britain shrugged off the Depression with the maiden voyage of the Queen Mary. Robert Wall continues the story of the liners and those who sailed on them until 1939 when the sinking of the French liner Paris was a grim omen of things to come.
Producer JOHN COLEMAN
With Jean Simmons and Mary Jo Tarola
