Walking with Dinosaurs
Imagine you could witness a prehistoric sunset- imagine you are watching insectivorous pterosaurs chase moths in the moist evening air and bull triceratops lock horns over a young female. This is no longer a dream. Walking with Dinosaurs makes that distant world as real and natural as images from today's Serengeti. Tracing the 160 million-year history of dinosaurs, from their first appearance to their abrupt demise, this series marks a watershed in television imagery.
“A television classic” The Times.

The Ballad of Big Al
A few years ago, an amazing fossil was unearthed in Wyoming, USA. Not only were the bones they found those of a dinosaur that lived 145 million years ago, the skeleton of this creature was very nearly complete. Now the scientists' find has been resurrected, to recreate Big Al's life for the television screen. In the first programme we follow him from his birth to his death- a 15 year story of a lone battle against formidable prey and ferocious predators. The second programme is a scientific detective story to trace the evidence of Big Al.
