But it's all very real for our next two guests, who are global experts on capturing great white sharks on film. Chris and Monique Fallows are on the telephone from Cape Town, South Africa, where it's about 6:20 in the evening. Thank you so much for joining us.

Naturalist, seaman and eco photographer, Chris Fallows has spent five years in the False Bay area studying this super predator. He has observed a unique phenomenon in the way the Great White hunts its prey.

Seal Island, about 5kms off shore, is really just an isolated pile of rocks, but the secret lies in the name.

November 24, 2003 - Husband-and-wife team Monique and Chris Fallows make a living by photographing a dramatic spectacle of nature: giant sharks hurtling through the air as they rocket with great velocity from murky depths to catch seals near the surface. This interview includes two photo galleries of the "flying sharks" of South Africa

The BBC Planet Earth TV series was one of the most enjoyable and succesful projects Monique and I have ever worked on.

In previous years the BBC did not always get their timing with us right and arrived before or after things really got going, this time Simon King and Ted hit the nail on the head.

On many days during their 3 week stay with us we witnessed over 30 predatory events, many including spectacular breaches. Simon and Ted were consumate professionals, as well being enjoyable company on the boat. Planet Earth pictures and Planet Earth products will undoubtedly take the documentary watching fraternity by storm, pretty much like The Blue Planet did before.
