The thrilling adventures of award-winning wildlife documentary producer, John Ruthven, on a journey of discovery that has helped to uncover many of our ocean's mysteries.

Ruthven has mesmerised audiences across his work producing for Blue Planet and Blue Planet II, making nearly fifty ocean films and working on episodes of Discovery Shark Week, expedition films for National Geographic, and coral conservation documentaries for PBS. Through innovative technology, he has helped capture unique images of a sperm whale mother and calf, pictures of glowing creatures half a mile deep, and grey reef sharks hunting by the light of the moon.

In The Whale in the Living Room Ruthven invites you to swim with him through blue lagoons, dive into the abyss to encounter new life forms, and experience everything from the danger of getting lost at sea to the sadness of finding a starving whale with a fishing net caught in its mouth. Through each remarkable adventure, Ruthven gives insight into what we currently know about the ocean, and our whole blue planet.
