Mysteries of the Deep

Jeremy Wade can do no wrong, his sparkling personality allows him to not only be incredible in everything he does but to also captivate audiences with his charm and swagger! ALL HAIL KING JEREMY

I've been a fan of Mr. Wade's programs from day one and he and I have exchanged a few emails about fly fishing, tying flies and Percy Fawcett.

This program is a huge disappointment. We occasionally see him standing or sitting on various rocks talking us through real life sea mysteries that have been discussed for years on other programs. Don't these people watch educational television? So far, every single subject has been raked over by other 'explorers' many times.

This, literally, looks like he's doing the program because he needs the cash, he just can't tear himself out from the front of the camera or his die hard women fans don't care what he talks about as long as there are plenty of 'up his nostrils' close ups.

Mr. Wade, it's time to retire or be a little more careful what jobs you accept. Sir Attenborough you are not.

I happened upon this series purely by surfing channels and heard the unmistakable tones of Jeremy Wade narrating a story of an undersea archaeological discovery. "Great!" I thought. "I like Jeremy's stuff". But as it went on, my expectations began to sink. Jeremy Wade, for reasons best known to himself, has decided to risk his whole credibility by going down the gosh-gee-whiz-amazing-mysteries route that has been flogged to death by so many other presenters. What little valuable new information there may be in this series is wrapped up in a script that insults the intelligence of the viewers (well, most of them anyway). Why did you do it, Jeremy? What's next on your agenda - aliens?

I love this show. Don't get me wrong. But it tends to lean towards sensationalism much like the national enquirer. After watching several episodes I have noticed That facts are often left out. They kept showing a "famous" picture that has been long scene proven fake. But wasn't mentioned during the show. And survivor under water. Air bubble.

This series makes me miss Jeremy's hands on investigating and offcourse fishing. It had to happen at some point offcourse! Will always have the memories and offcourse repeats!
