The Long Dark Journey Back with Andrew Sachs Barry Paine and Deborah-Jane Sharpe
The life story of the common eel written by PAUL THOMAS
The eel swims out of a Devon river and into mystery. It started as a small leaf in the Sargasso, shrank to a tiny glass elver off the Cornish coast, turned yellow on its journey up streams and across wet fields to Dartmoor, and seven years later transformed into a silver eel for the 5,000 km journey back to the Sargasso. How and why does it travel so far, in salt water and fresh, in order to feed on one side of the Atlantic and spawn on the other?
Nobody knows.
