## Summary

The main recommendation is the return of *Blue Planet III*, which takes viewers into tropical seas to show the abundance and unusual behaviour of marine life. The programme matters as a showcase for the BBC Natural History Unit’s striking footage, with David Attenborough presenting in his 101st year.

The episode features tawny nurse sharks hunting in teams and a contest between shrimps and a starfish, ending with a shrimp eating the starfish’s arm, which can grow back. The article also previews other Sunday programmes, including a young musicians’ final, crime and relationship dramas, a fishing series and a Bradley Walsh quiz event with a million dollars at stake.
