    The Undersea World of Jacques Cousteau - with Ed Booth

    The Undersea World of Jacques Cousteau - with Ed Booth

    He may have sailed the Atlantic twice, but Ed Booth's toughest maritime task is finally upon him - to talk about the his favourite TV series, The Undersea World of Jacques Cousteau. Holed up in his secret research vessel (his garden shed in Cambridge), Ed talks Swallows and Amazons, colour television, attempted car theft, diving for gold and running away from primary school. Climb aboard the Calypso, pull on your red diver's hat, and plunge head-first into the chat. *Warning - contains French accent some listeners may find mildly ridiculous.
