[FONT=Arial, sans-serif]T BBC 2 8.00 – 9.00 pm Superfish – The first thing you learn from this striking film is that marlin, swordfish and sailfish are known collectively as “billfish”. Weird and magnificent to look at, they weigh up to half a ton and swim at speeds of up to 70 mph. But little is known about their behaviour and they haven't been filmed much – other than on the end of sport fishermen's lines – until now. David Attenborough adds his voice to Rick Rosenthal's haunting footage of the creatures and we learn extraordinary details of their behaviour, such as how sailfish extend their dorsal fin “like a matador's cape” to confuse their prey. But it's the dispiriting images of large-scale relentless commercial fishing (not just of sailfish, but of squid and anchovy, too) off the coast of Peru that may stick in your mind the longest.[/FONT]
