EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS
“I think having ownership over something is something you should be proud of. And I've really lent into that, as these programs have been made.”
Lizzie Daly - 2:27

“There is currently no real female lead in terms of adventure, wildlife and science, that combination you see, with wonderful naturalists and presenters, legends, all men on screen, and I think it's time to change the game with that a little bit.” - Lizzie Daly - 15:51
“I've always felt that there’s all this amazing information, there's this wealth of knowledge that we just can't access, and the general public don't feel connected to. And that's where this magical combination of science meets storytelling and wildlife film is the sweet spot for me.” Lizzie Daly - 21:19
“Jaws didn’t help.” “No, Jaws really screwed over the sharks” - 31:54
“The plan was to see orca, gannett, seals, minke whales and blue sharks, and then this huge barrel jellyfish came out of the murk and [the photo] beat Donald Trump in the news, on BBC News trending. It went absolutely viral. It was bonkers.” - Lizzie Daly - 34:55
“If you get stung by a box jellyfish, you literally go into like 11 hours of what's been described as “impending doom.” They can be as small as your fingernail but some with tentacles like metres long.” - Lizzie Daly - 36:27
“That responsibility lands on all of our shoulders, however, to say one person has to go vegan and recycle everything and do everything they possibly can. And if they don't, they're, they're evil. That's just not the right approach. Everybody has to fit it into what they can do in their lifestyle.” - Lizzie Daly - 59:22
“There's actually a stretch off the coast of Wales called the Celtic deep it's amazing stretch of wild water and you've got loads of sharks migrating through and in the summer months is pumping full of tuna and blue sharks and it is absolutely stunning. Alot of it isn’t protected and I've seen trawlers literally dumping rubbish, finning, and all this kind of illegal activity that's just going on that we've got no idea about. Meanwhile, we're recycling. It's crazy, isn't it?” - Lizzie Daly - 1:04:13
