More than 25 years after it first captured our imaginations, the beloved Walking With Dinosaurs returns in a groundbreaking new six-part series for BBC One and BBC iPlayer. Produced by BBC Studios in collaboration with ZDF and France Télévisions, this ambitious project takes viewers on a thrilling journey back in time, unveiling the captivating life stories of these long-extinct giants.
Each episode focuses on a specific dinosaur whose fossilized remains are currently being unearthed by world-renowned paleontologists. Utilizing cutting-edge scientific techniques and stunning visual effects, the series paints a vivid and accurate picture of these prehistoric creatures.We witness their daily lives, hunting strategies, fierce battles, and ultimately, their demise. Albertosaurus, a formidable relative of the Tyrannosaurus rex, is featured as a swift and deadly predator capable of reaching speeds of up to 30 miles per hour, making it the fastest dinosaur in the series. Paleontologists believe these pack hunters, armed with dozens of sharp teeth, preyed on their victims before tearing them apart. Another fascinating dinosaur showcased is Pachyrhinosaurus, a herbivorous relative of the Triceratops, distinguished by its thick bony protrusion on its nose, known as a boss, used for combat between males. This species, Pachyrhinosaurus lakustai, possesses a unique single horn projecting from the center of its head, earning it the nickname 'unicorn' horn. The series highlights the remarkable migrations undertaken by Pachyrhinosaurus, suggesting that herds as large as 40,000 individuals embarked on epic journeys over hundreds of miles in search of food and nesting grounds, much like modern-day caribou. Walking With Dinosaurs, a six-part series with each episode lasting 50 minutes, was commissioned for BBC One and BBC iPlayer by Jack Bootle, Head of Commissioning, Specialist Factual. Bill Gardner serves as the Editorial Consultant for PBS, with Diana El-Osta as the Executive in Charge. The production is a BBC Studios Science Unit venture co-produced with ZDF and France Télévisions for BBC and PBS. Andrew Cohen and Helen Thomas are the Executive Producers, Kirsty Wilson is the Showrunner, Stephen Cooter, Tom Hewitson, and Owen Gower are the Producer/Directors, while Max Brunold and Libby Hand are the Line Producers.
