Bridget Nicholls presents The Impossible Life of Jacques Cousteau on BBC Radio World Service

Pestival Director Bridget Nicholls presents a documentary on Jacques Cousteau for the Friday Documentary on BBC World Service.

Marine explorer Cousteau led a unique, miraculous life: inventing the aqualung; battling the Nazis; bringing marine life to cinema and television screens for the first time.

Bridget tracks down friends, colleagues and family members to tell the story of an often impossible and sometimes tortured man who seemed able to use his fears and limitations in a way few of us can: to fuel ever greater adventure.
