Blue Planet II: The secrets behind the BBC One series

Earlier this week, it was reported that some of the close-up shots in Blue Planet II, which returns on Sunday, were filmed in a lab, rather than in the wild.
The Guardian said some crucial footage could only have been captured on film in "controlled laboratory conditions".
Attenborough defended the use of these shots, saying they are "not in anyway misleading", and makers say the series was overwhelmingly shot on location.
It's not the first time this issue has come up - back in 2011, a Frozen Planet programme, narrated by Sir David Attenborough, used some film footage of polar bear cubs in a Dutch animal park.
One segment of Blue Planet II includes close-up lab footage of coral bleaching, which producers said could only be filmed with lights and specialised cameras.
We spoke to executive producer James Honeyborne about how much is filmed in the wild and the techniques involved in capturing those critical moments.

I recently bought myself this 4K camera which also has a waterproof case (as in picture) which can be used down to a depth of 30 Metres. I wonder if I could get on the crew if they decided to do a Blue Planet III?

For the price, it takes exceptionally good video and images although I still have to try it under water.
