This informative documentary - which focuses on billfish such as marlin (pictured), swordfish and sailfish - has picked up critical acclaim. Described as a "striking" film, it's narrated by David Attenborough and features "haunting footage" of the fish. And there's a sting in the tail as the programme looks at the intensive commercial fishing of these creatures that is going on off the coast of Peru.

The billfish are the biggest, fastest, and most dangerous gamefish in the sea. All have captured Man's imagination like few other creatures, whether it's the graceful sailfish, the menacing swordfish or queen of them all, the marlin, immortalized by Hemingway in The Old Man And The Sea. Marine biologist and filmmaker Rick Rosenthal has travelled three oceans in his attempt to capture them all on film.
