The BBC are showing what looks to be an absolutely fascinating documentary all through the day today: The Abyss live. There are three submarines diving in three different locations. The dives are being shown live on the beeb throughout the day and all the time on digital. I just caught some of the last programme before the news came on and it was pretty damn cool.

The images they are bringing back are really stunning and well worth a look. I shall try and catch the last programme at 7 and then later tonight The Shield starts on channel 5. I’ve heard pretty good things about this so I’m looking forward to it.
