Prehistoric Planet promises to take viewers back in time, 66 million years, to when "majestic dinosaurs and extraordinary creatures" roamed the earth. The Jon Favreau-produced nature series has been hailed as "jaw-dropping" in scale – and the closest any of us are likely to get to a visiting Jurassic Park.
Each of the five episodes – narrated by 96-year-old Sir David – blends mind-blowing CGI with music by Hans Zimmer. From cute arctic Dromaeosaurs (penguin relatives) to the beastly T-Rex, Prehistoric Planet is unique in that it uses all-new scientific research to reveal how the dinosaurs really lived.
