The spectacular 4-hour video series with English narration deriving from the 480 hours of film taken by Jacques Perrin & Co. for the Galatee Oceans project will begin to air 15 December 2012 in the UK as “Kingdom of the Oceans†on the National Geographic Channel. See https://natgeotv.com/uk/kingdom-of-the-oceans
The show will air in the US on the Nat Geo Wild Channel on Sunday March 10th & 17th 2013 from 8-10pm Eastern.  The show is also airing globally on the Wild Channel but each region does its own scheduling (hence the UK broadcast on Dec 15) .  Later in 2013, Nat Geo will re-air the show in the US on the National Geographic Channel during the Friday night expeditions programming time slot.
We would expect the English-version DVD will also be available soon.
No footage is repeated between the original 90-minute film and the 4-hour series, so prepare to be dazzled again. Francois Sarrano and Stephane Durand prepared an excellent narration. The series generously acknowledges the Census of Marine Life and the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation.
The series offers great opportunities for education about the oceans and marine life, for example, panel discussions or question-and-answer sessions, after viewing the segments.
Thanks to our colleagues at Nat Geo.
