Rescued from death's door and the confines of a filthy festering 'swimming pool' in Hisaronu, Turkey, nearly two years of careful care and preparation finally reached its stunning climax when the gate to their sea pen was opened for the first time and the two dolphins swam Back To The Blue.
Opening Tom and Misha's gateway to freedom was legendary actress and wildlife campaigner Virginia McKenna OBE alongside Coronation Street favourite, Helen Worth, TV Investigator Donal MacIntyre and Derya Yildirim from the on-site team.
Virginia McKenna was deeply moved by the whole experience: "We could hardly believe it. All the rzkmvf ay kwcpllzk ms pkr arccmrgak fqtg, yyz ifb wwyz, kkk fhpuz, uas gcviox.
