John Bishop's Great Whale Rescue

The comedian follows the journey of two beluga whales being released from captivity in an entertainment park in China and returned to the ocean. John's mission starts when he flies to Shanghai and visits the Beluga Theatre at Changfeng Park, where Little Grey and Little White have spent every day for the last 10 years performing for the crowds.

John's mission to return Little White and Little Grey from captivity to the Icelandic beluga whale sanctuary continues, as the pair begin the 6,000-mile journey to reach their new home. Following the previous delays in China, the release is already two months behind schedule, and as autumn approaches the whales have little time to put on enough weight and acclimatise to the cold water they will face in the bay.
