Although to view the final production (the first HD nature series on Welsh TV) it helps to be able to understand Welsh.

I shot the underwater footage lst year when the weather was inclement and underwater conditions often about as bad as you can imagine - the series will give a flavour of the reality of the Welsh marine environment.

Really like the lampreys. Not seen them filmed before - great work to get them mating. We used to get them in the rivers at school in the summer.

Sorry should have said didn't shoot the lampreys - I think that they were shot holding the housing in the river!!! Scarily I was listening to a piece on BBC Radio 4 not long ago in which an expert of British lampreys was being interviewed. He put the total number of lampreys in British rivers as being down in the hundreds only!
