Orla Doherty
Natural History Unit
Producer
A factual producer in her twenties, Orla fell in love with the ocean on her 30th birthday when she put a scuba-tank on her back and a regulator in her mouth for the first time. She went on to live on a boat in the Pacific Ocean for a decade, leading a coral reef research programme to some of the most remote reefs on Earth. When she eventually returned to land, she joined the NHU to develop Blue Planet II with James Honeyborne, then went on to produce two episodes: The Deep and Our Blue Planet.
