My boat was ‘attacked’ by orcas too. What does this say about the sea? Violent interactions with humans off the Iberian coast have caused alarm but mystery still surrounds the apex predatorsThis past week’s new reports of orca interactions off the Iberian coast has cast new light on these apex predators. Are they annoyed with us? Or just playing? Whatever the truth, such interactions – a word most scientists prefer to the judgmental “attacks” – are nothing new.Diving in the Indian Ocean in 2017 with underwater photographer Andrew Sutton, we watched two pods of orca preying on sperm whale calves. Their attempts were defeated by adult whales who had gathered around to defend their young. The orcas then turned their attention to our 6m fishing boat, circling us, before repeatedly ramming our prow. Five of the orcas swam directly at our side, creating a compression wave as if to tip us over.

I have just learned about the Moby Dick Big Read project from Philip Hoare and the University of Plymouth and the first chapter is making me so happy

It has been a truly taxing week and I am trying very hard to find the joy. Terror Camp, getting tattooed in Portsmouth by the lovely Samo White, the Gibson playlist and this lovely project are things I am trying to enjoy to their fullest because the world has good in it.

New Scotland Yard: Nothing to Live For (2.1, LWT, 1972)
"Any sign of her in there?"
"No. Odds are against it, I suppose."
"What, being there?"
"Being alive."
#new scotland yard#nothing to live for#classic tv#1972#tony hoare#bryan izzard#john woodvine#john carlisle#lynn farleigh#philip madoc#mark jones#charles morgan#raymond adamson#john peel#stephen white#peter kenton#victor harrington#john tatham#NSY's second series debuted just 3 months after the first had finished; presumably audiences still had the events of 1.13 fresh in their#minds and so not a huge amount of time is spent raking over why exactly Carlisle is in uniform and now working for the traffic unit (in old#tv cop shows‚ a fate worse than death; it makes you wonder who exactly Does work in the traffic units and why they aren't in a constant#state of furious rebellion at their apparently miserable station in life). of course things are quickly sorted out so that he's back with#old pal Woodvine... well‚ they do at least seem to find each other tolerable company here. he's been demoted to sergeant tho‚ so we'll see#if that sticks. the case of the week is a rather sad one about a dead child and the possibility that euthanasia was involved; this is#cleared up but becomes another kind of case when Madoc's grieving father snaps and grabs a gun. old fave Phil is very very good here#giving the kind of subtly moving performance he so often did. Farleigh fares less well; she's very good but this script is quite nakedly#misogynistic I'm afraid‚ with her character variously depicted as a neurotic mother in denial‚ a vengeful scorned woman‚ or a needlessly#spiteful cuckolding wife. it's a pretty hateful bit of writing which stands out like a sore thumb compared to the empathy the script#affords Madoc and Mark Jones (as the Other Man‚ who just happens to be the late child's biological father).#particularly disappointing bc Hoare's work on the series (and on other shows like Villains) was previously so well written and nuanced

SHORTLISTED FOR THE PEN ACKERLEY PRIZE 2020
‘A uniquely strange and wonderful work of literature’ Philip Hoare
‘An exciting new voice’ Mark Cocker, author of Crow Country
In his late thirties, Edward Parnell found himself trapped in the recurring nightmare of a family tragedy. For comfort, he turned to his bookshelves, back to the ghost stories that obsessed him as a boy, and to the writers through the ages who have attempted to confront what comes after death.
In Ghostland, Parnell goes in search of the ‘sequestered places’ of the British Isles, our lonely moors, our moss-covered cemeteries, our stark shores and our folkloric woodlands. He explores how these landscapes conjured and shaped a kaleidoscopic spectrum of literature and cinema, from the ghost stories and weird fiction of M. R. James, Arthur Machen and Algernon Blackwood to the children’s fantasy novels of Alan Garner and Susan Cooper; from W. G. Sebald’s The Rings of Saturn and Graham Swift’s Waterland to the archetypal ‘folk horror’ film The Wicker Man

Ghostland is Parnell’s moving exploration of what has haunted our writers and artists – and what is haunting him. It is a unique and elegiac meditation on grief, memory and longing, and of the redemptive power of stories and nature.

Such stories seem to suit this infernal island, a half-formed place of fire and water; I could imagine Melville and Hawthorne meeting here. Even the cliffs on which we stand are undermined by hidden caves. Due south from here lies Antarctica. And somewhere down in the fathomless, gathering darkness, sperm whales swim, eternally aware, their lives one waking dream, moving through valleys that run thirty thousand miles along the ocean floor, through lakes that lie stilly in the abyss, separated by temperature like pools of mercury, past jellyfish pulsating as ghostly Victorian brides in ectoplasmic crinolines.
Leviathan, or The Whale, Philip Hoare

In 1917 Nichols was conscripted, working in the Intelligence department of the War Office in Whitehall. His unit decided he should be sent to such places as the CafĂ© Royal — just up the road — ‘to act as a sort of agent provocateur to lure pacifist activists into trying to entice them to their cause’. Such methods of entrapment — ironically similar to the German practices described in the Black Book — were not unusual techniques for intelligence and policing authorities then (and after). Nichols’s mission had yet a more ironic outcome, ‘for the constant presence of this baby-faced officer in the Bohemian surroundings of the CafĂ© Royal attracted the attention of plain-clothes police, whose suspicions of him could only have been fuelled by his fairly obvious sex life’.

Orcas are ramming yachts off the Spanish coast – is the whale world rising up? | Philip Hoare One explanation is that their behaviour is a reaction to past trauma inflicted on one member of the pod by humansRecent accounts of “attacks” on vessels by orcas off the Iberian peninsula are challenging the way we expect the natural world to behave. Increasing in number since 2020, from northern Portugal to the strait of Gibraltar, these incidents suggest the need for a cetacean scene investigation team. On 4 May, in one of the most extreme events, orcas sank a yacht.“There were two smaller orcas and one larger,” the skipper Werner Schaufelberger told German magazine Yacht. “The little ones shook the rudder at the back while the big one repeatedly backed up and rammed the boat with full force from the side.” Continue reading... https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2023/may/25/orcas-ramming-yachts-spanish-whale-behaviour-trauma-humans
