Next week, Five screens a unique seven-day event documenting the magnificent world of the great white shark.

Presented by Five's investigative journalist Donal MacIntyre and science and natural history presenter Nick Baker, the series combines observations of this most feared predator, with analysis from the world's leading shark experts including shark behaviourist Melanie Paul.

The programmes come live from the Condor diving boat on Isla de Guadalupe, 160 miles off the coast of Baja, California, and from the Scripps Institute of Oceanography in San Diego.

Each night Nick Baker and an intrepid camera team dive in dangerous waters observing the species, by conducting unique scientific experiments including a live shark autopsy.

Meanwhile Donal MacIntyre interviews shark experts and survivors about their remarkable experiences, in order to accomplish the most comprehensive, aquatic observation to date.

In addition, footage from around the world of the most shocking attacks is presented in a series of films,Bitemares.
