Seen the squid at Te Papa, but still want more on colossal squid?
Then tune into SKY’s Discovery Channel on Sunday 11 January 2009 at 7:30pm to see the New Zealand premiere of the “Colossal Squid” documentary.
The doco was filmed during the great defrost and examination in April last year. The crew came back to film the move of the squid from the thawing/preservation tank to the shiny new display tank in August. Discovery Channel also helped Te Papa with the preservation of the squid.
Brief excerpts from the documentary feature in the exhibition audiovisual but you won’t want to miss this chance to see the documentary in full!
If you don’t catch it on Sunday 11 January the doco re-run times are:
Monday 12 January at 1.30 am
Monday 12 January at 8.30 am
Sunday 18 January at 3.30 pm
10 December 2008 – 10.12am

I had a call from SKY NZ who happily told me that you all need to tune into SKY’s Discovery Channel on 11 JANUARY 2009 at 7:30pm to see the premiere of the Colossal Squid doco.
The doco was filmed during the great defrost and examination in April this year, and the crew came back to film the move of the squid from the thawing/preservation tank to its bright and shiny display tank. Discovery Channel also helped Te Papa with the preservation of the squid – cheers Discovery Channel!
If you miss it on 11 January here are the re-runs times:
12 Jan @ 1.30am
12 Jan @ 8.30am

International squid fans – I will hopefully have the remaining international premiere dates soon!
Yes, good news for all you Northern American squid addicts! Tune into the Discovery Channel at 9pm on 31 August for the world premiere of the squid documentary – it will be repeated again at 1am on 1 September.
Alas, for our fans in Europe and Asia Pacific, a date hasn’t been set for the doco screening yet BUT we hope to get word through later in the week so keep checking the blog!
As well as filming the defrost and examination of the largest, most intact colossal specimen in the world, Discovery Channel have also contributed to the squid preservation project, thanks Discovery!!
