Dolphins – Spy in the Pod is a British factual television series that was first broadcast on BBC One on 2 January 2014.

[12] Ellen E. Jones of The Independent compared the second episode to "the visual equivalent of one of those "Sounds of the Ocean" CDs that insomniacs use to drift off.

Nothing but calm blue seas as far as the eye can see, and the soothing Scots coo of narrator David Tennant.

"[13] Benji Wilson of The Daily Telegraph also gave it four stars out of five and said his only criticism was its format being too similar to Penguins: Spy in the Huddle, a BBC series broadcast the previous year.

The claims were rejected by the BBC and John Downer Productions, as the dolphin used was a tame individual free to move in the open ocean and the marine park.
