Historia

Leslie Megahey (born 22 December 1944) is a British television producer, director and writer. Born in Belfast, Northern Ireland, the son of Thomas Megahey (a minister) and Beatrice (née Walton), Leslie Megahey was educated at King Edward VI School in Lichfield. Early works for the BBC included Canvas: 7: Sunflowers: Van Gogh (1971), and Omnibus File: Thrillers and Crime Fiction (1972). He was the editor of the BBC television documentary series Arena (1977–79; 1982–83); during his time on the series he divided it into Arena Theatre and Arena Art and Design, and Arena became less of a magazine-style programme and more a home for short, distinctive and stylish films about mainly British theatre and visual arts. During this period his programme Henry Moore Meets Leonardo (1978) was broadcast, in which the sculptor Henry Moore discussed Leonardo Da Vinci's anatomical drawings. His two-part Arena special The Orson Welles Story (1982) programmes won a 'Best Documentary' BAFTA in 1983. (Wikipedia)

Screenplay
Los autores de la película "Deep Blue" emprenden un fascinante viaje por la Tierra, de norte a sur y a lo largo de las cuatro estaciones, para retratar los contrastes entre las diferentes partes del planeta y sus transformaciones naturales. Las condiciones de supervivencia de algunas especies animales, y su comportamiento natural, en ocasiones con elementos muy cómicos, forman parte también de un extraordinario documental realizado con las más sofisticadas técnicas, al mismo tiempo que la serie televisiva de la BBC Planet Earth. Dirigida por dos veteranos documentalistas de la cadena inglesa, la serie tardó 5 años en rodarse, con más de 200 locaciones en 26 países diferentes, y nada menos que 250 días de fotografía aérea. Un descomunal trabajo que logra mostrar con todo esplendor la belleza del reino animal, al tiempo que alerta sobre su progresivo y preocupante peligro de desaparición.
