Secrets of the Spy Whale
Secrets of the Spy Whale
This programme explores the mystery of the beluga whale that approached a Norwegian fishing boat seeking help in 2019. The mammal was found to be wearing a harness fitted with a camera mount and the words 'Equipment St Petersburg' were discovered on the buckle. This caused speculation to break out about the whale's involvement in some kind of sinister undercover activity
Secrets of the Spy Whale airs on BBC Two HD at 12:20 AM, Friday 22 November. (Subtitles, repeat, sign language, audio description.)
