"The oceans, seemingly limitless, invoke in us a sense of awe and wonder, and also sometimes fear. They cover 70% of the surface of our planet, and yet they are still the least explored. Hidden beneath the waves, right beneath my feet, there are creatures beyond our imagination."
Blue Planet II
"We are at unique stage in our history. Never before have we had such an awareness of what we are doing to the planet, and never before have we had the power to do something about that. Surely we have a responsibility to care for our blue planet. The future of humanity, and indeed all life on Earth, now depends on us."
BBC tager os endnu engang pà en magisk rejse til den stÃrste, men mindst kendte del af vores planet, de store oceaner, hvor forskerne siden den fÃrste serie i 2001 har fÃet en langt dybere forstÃelse af livet i havene. MÃd her den sÃregne blÃksprutte, der lurer i dybet af Det Sydlige Ishav, kÃmpetrevallen, der fanger fugle i flugten, og rid pà ryggen af en spÃkhugger, nÃr den farer lÃs pà en fiskestime. Alt liv pà jorden er afhÃngig af havenes evne til at give liv. De store oceaner er vores globale iltapparat!
Pà senare Ãr har vÃr kunskap om vad som sker i haven fÃrÃndrats. Blue Planet II anvÃnder sig av banbrytande vetenskapliga och teknologiska genombrott fÃr att utforska nya vÃrldar, avslÃja fÃrbluffande varelser och ovanliga beteenden hos djur. Pà resan genom havsdjup, korallrev, Ãppna hav, grÃna hav och kuster fÃr vi dela dessa fantastiska upptÃckter. Men vi vet att havens hÃlsotillstÃnd Ãr hotade. Aldrig tidigare har det varit viktigare att utforska vÃra mest avsides belÃgna hav och undersÃka vad framtiden kommer att betyda fÃr vÃr blà planet.

Families can talk about climate change and the oceans. Did you learn anything new from Planet Earth: Blue Planet II? How has human influence had a negative impact on the health of the planet's water? How does this affect different species? Do you think things are changing for the better now that this issue is more prominent? What can you do to make a positive change?
And show the extraordinary they did. The team dove deeper than anyone else ever had in those waters, and revealed that the freezing seas below the most remote and extreme environment on the planet teem with life.
"Never before have we had such an awareness of what we are doing to the planet and never before have we had the power to do something about that," said Attenborough in the final episode. "Surely we have a responsibility to care for our blue planet."
At the time, relatively few people seemed to care. The story I wrote never made it onto the pages of the newspaper I worked for. But fast forward to 2019, and plastic pollution is regarded as one of the most important environmental crises facing our planet. Public campaigns have forced manufacturers to replace long-lasting disposable plastics with biodegradable alternatives. New rules on plastic recycling are being introduced around the world and single-use plastic bags are being taxed or banned outright in many countries.
Like Planet Earth II before it, Blue Planet II has redefined what we expect from a documentary: from the previously unseen stories uncovered to the quality of the pictures, to the attention paid to the soundtrack. The icing on the cake is Sir David Attenborough, surely one of the best people on the planet, who provides placid but informative narration, at once both excited enthusiast and concerned ecologist.

Afterthoughts: David Attenborough is one of the greatest human beings on the planet. A household name loved by all Brits, and anyone else around the world who has watched his incredible shows.
