For David Parer and Liz Parer-Cook, a three-year mission to film the fearsome killer whale was not without its drama. David and his equipment had to be dragged from the water when a female killer with calf headed straight for him, while ten months into the project Liz became pregnant.

The killers were named Orcas - or Wolves of the Sea - by early whalers because they hunt in packs. These packs were filmed gorging herrings - 90 kilograms per day - and dramatically taking penguins and seal pups. The narration is by David Attenborough.

Divorce in 18th-century England was virtually impossible - only one or two were granted each year. It required three costly and complex lawsuits, including a private act of Parliament, and you were rarely allowed to marry again.
This programme is one of a trilogy on divorce being shown this week as part of the Year of the Family. It provides three accounts of divorce and marital breakdown from historian
Lawrence Stone 's book Broken
Lives, including the tale of the unfortunate Duke of Beaufort, who had to prove his sexual prowess in the divorce court when his wife claimed their marriage wasn't consummated.
They have been dramatised by Louise Page and interwoven with interviews. Douglas Hodge , Lynsey Baxter , John Benfield , Maggie Steed , Tom Mannion and Jenny Galloway play different roles in each story. Director Vanessa Engle
Executive producer Janice Hadlow
(Timewatch on Wednesday at 8.00pm offers a Women's History of Divorce 1945-69)
