yes, if only to moan about it tomorrow!

Watching it and wtf is that bird. Are they sure they haven't mixed fossiles together.

Lovely sceintific detail but it just lacks the finesse of WWD. Still worthy of watching though.

Thought this week was better than last week. Or maybe because I was expecting the 'pause and cut to science bit' every so often it felt better.

watched this last night and thought it was much better than the week before, i thought the forest was more convincing looking as a back drop than the rivers/ more open scenes of the previous one and the script was less annoying

will certainly keep watching and may be stop moaning

Animation is still rubbish, destroying any realism and i fell asleep half why through

Just watched the first episode on BBC iplayer today, will definitely watch more because I find dinosaurs fascinating.

Was a good episode but was interrupted half way trough with our Chinese being delivered late! The gigantoraptor looked so weird though. Definitely wouldn't want one of those bad boys after me!

Any idea if they will cover Megaladon's in this series?

Well otnight is the sea episode, so hopefully something about it will be on.

Quite interested in what is special about "predator X" it looks just like a normal pliosaur to me.

Just caught up with this on iPlayer (late to join the party I know!) and wanted to say how impressed I was! I used to be a dinosaur nut when I was young but I've never seen a dinosaur program that justifies what it is depicting so well.

I've watched the first three (the one on featured dinos was my fav so far) and I'll watch the latter three tonight.

One thing that didn't gel for me was the fact that throughout the series the scientific basis behind the recreations was excellent, except for the plesiosaurs. There wasn't enough detail in the descriptions to provide any reason why some fissues in a cliff in Switzerland are considered evidence for the unusual hunting behaviour of plesiosaurs. Now, that info may exist in a scientific paper somewhere but in the way it was presented in the show it appeared pure guess work and fancy.
