After a Springwatch series touched by more controversy than usual (Bill Oddie doing impressions of animals mating isn't a highlight of anyone's season, dear me, no), here's the start of a run of special films fronted by Springwatch regulars. Preview DVDs weren't available, but we begin with Kate Humble's celebration of the UK's marine life, from otters to dolphins and basking sharks. And what about the fish? We all know our coastal stocks are suffering, but what can any of us do about it? Humble argues that simple changes to our take on fish and chips, for example, could help save the day.
