International Documentaries on Classic DD

Dear Viewers, as you know in the 80s we never had these cable specialty channels like Discovery, Animal Planet or History channel 'cause of Doordarshan monopoly which they enjoyed ruling for sometime but then still, DD brought to us some great geographical documentaries every week from International Television Production co'es  like BBC, Transtel and many other. Among them I remembered 2 great shows, one in particular was dedicated on the works of a great Marine Explorer Jacques Cousteau,  which was called "Secrets of the Sea" and  there was another popular program that I watched n enjoyed very keenly with my Grandpa known as "The Living Planet" presented by a British naturalist - David Attenborough. It took me a while to figure out about these shows they were haunting my mind for many years now and with little help from our Retro DD Fans, I was happy to post it. Watching from shows like these I bet many of you will agree with me:that one can imagine how Passionate these Personalities were with their discoveries as they endlessly explored and later was clearly seen in their work and brought the ideas out into Reality. These great Men loved and worshiped their work outcomes of which, we till date Honor them.

Again feels really awesome to add these clips in this blog where I can just come back and watch it again. I care a big deal for old popular shows out of thousand new series, 'cause of their Work, the quality and above all the Originality. Senior Icons in Educational programs have set so many platforms for new talents which were made in 20th Century that just kept inspiring upcoming Talents resulting  today, in some marvelous work we see in Research programs or in studies of the Universe / Planets or Nature of living beings, an Eye opener to understand various facts about Life and forms.

So how many of you did recall the following Programs aired on DD? :)

Secrets of the sea.

Remember! you could watch these magnificent species living under the water, right from your living room, it was cool and fascinating.. Ocean Cool! :) the Spectacular Whales and awesome Dolphins rising from no-where and Diving back into the Ocean was so Mind blowing!. Mr J.Cousteau had a great connection with the Ocean, he having a great time with his Work that he carried on Camera, the drama with these wonderful Mammals and the beautiful Species under-water made this show worth watching.

Mr.Cousteau carried tremendous research about species living in the Ocean. He was the Man who made us- the Viewers, realize how beautiful Ocean life beneath is.

He is best known for writing and presenting the nine Life series, in conjunction with the BBC Natural History Unit, which collectively form a comprehensive survey of all life on the planet. He is also a former senior manager at the BBC, having served as controller of BBC Two and director of programming for BBC Television in the 1960s and 1970s.

Attenborough is widely considered a national treasure in Britain, although he himself does not care for the term. He is a younger brother of director, producer and actor Richard Attenborough.
