The BBC has had to halt production of Blue Planet III this morning after an unimpressed member of the public disrupted the filming of Great White Sharks in their natural habitat.
At approximately, 10 am yesterday, the man tracked down the crew in his tinnie, boarded the research vessel and made his thoughts known.
A producer on the set told The Times,
“He kept asking us why we were planning to release footage of a shark given anyone should know they live in the ocean. We told them it’s part of a documentary to inspire awe and educate about the species, he went off the rails”
By all reports, the man started flapping his arms and saying they should only be making a documentary on sharks if and when you see “one walk across the road to the local bakery and get a pie”.
He then looked around the boat looking for the applause he normally anticipates from this line of brainless musings.
Nevertheless, the BBC was forced to concede that because sharks did live in the ocean no further attempts should be made to observe, understand or appreciate them.
David Attenborough described the man as one of the great modern thinkers of our time.
