Gr. Every single video I've found of it requires me to be in the UK to view it.

I didn't see all of it, but from what I saw I thought it was quite good. ;D Three picky things I picked: - They used the term 'vegetarian'....  - There was no club on the ankylosaurus.  - There were feathers on the adult Gorgosaurus..... or though was that factully true?? There may be some explanation as to those, but that is what I found. Other than that, it was good!!  |

- There was no club on the ankylosaurus. Are you sure it wasn't supposed to be a nodosaurid? No evidence against it... |

They called it 'an ankylosaur', not Ankylosaurus. It was clearly based on Edmontonia.

It was also obviously meant to be Edmontonia, but they didn't call it that. Weird, since every other animal in the show got a generic name, save the mosasaurs, which weren't named at all - they were just the 'predators in the water'. Sure, it wasn't a perfect Edmontonia, but some of the named animals were far from perfect (especially Troodon). |

...(The Edmontosaurus were probably the best-researched - they didn't even have any nails on their hands, which is a very common mistake. But they're lame.  We want accurate tyrannosaurs!) The floppy tails were weird too. And boy, did I want that annoying little 'Scar' to get snapped up at the end. I can just imagine it. Stephen Fry (for it is he): "Scar has grown up. He's proven himself a real survivor." Scar: [Victory moo] An Albertosaurus head appears from the top-left, grabs Scar, and lifts him out of frame. We hear a sickening crunch and see a torrent of blood.Stephen Fry: "And now, he will provide a handsome meal for the next generation of Albertosaurus." We see half of the limp body of Scar dropped into a nest of screaming Albertosaurus chicksStephen Fry: (suddenly maniacal) "THAT'S LIFE KIDS!" ... If you wanted me to hate you, all you needed do was say so.  ;D Leave Scar alone! ;D There now, see, Dave Hone has many good things to say about it too. Perhaps he could convince more people to think less disparagingly of the programme if I couldn't. In spite of what it looks like, I'm not trying to shout, 'this show is excellent, and you'd better agree, rawr!' ;D I'm just giving credit where it's due. If I sound repetitive, I'm just perplexed by the way so many seem to be at such pains to decry its faults almost at the exclusion of all else. It's an endemic trait among dino-enthusiasts, it seems. I am perfectly convinced of all your extraordinary cleverness -- I admire it enormously -- you needn't try to outdo each other in demonstrating it. ;D ;D ;D |

I exaggerated a tiny bit of course -- and was very, very impertinent. ;D But you know what I meant... I hope. ;D

Can anyone find videos of this on youtube? And has it aired in the US? I guess it wasn't great, otherwise this thread would probably be longer.

Thanks for the link, I can confirm that it works because I watched it! It was an alright program but I was pretty unimpressed. The environments we very bland, not much diversity in the way of flora, fauna or natural features in general. Of course a lot of the things they had the animals doing had me shouting at the screen..."Oh come on, they would NOT do that!". The pliosaur in the frozen lakes and rivers was ridiculous and I was amazed the ice was strong enough to support such large animals when winter had only just begun. I also noticed all of the animals and the environment in general were grey...grey and boring and honestly a bit depressing. Overall I found it very "Disneyish", a bit too long and the special effects boring.

i liked it, other than the fact that it had too much in common with the disney movie. that and the troodons just annoyed me...they had such short arms. also, every large carnivore died...every last one.
