A small (only two episode) documentary covering some of the dinosaurs found in and around the UK. It has your classics; Megalosaurus, Iguanodon and Scelidosaurus but it also features Nuthetes, Proceratosaurus and Baryonyx and an as-yet-unnamed Welsh dinosaur. The models are relatively nice, if a bit shrink-wrapped, though they stand out really awkwardly when jammed into live action sequences like some sort of Primeval off-shoot. They cover the Velociraptor misconception spread by Jurassic Park (even with a "no they can't open doors" moment) but go out of their way to make everything as overly dramatic and savage as they can, painting most of the predatory dinosaurs with things like "vicious" and "savage" rather than just being... animals. You can watch both episodes here in decent quality, they're about 45 minutes each. www.youtube.com/channel/UCDMzaV5137Q55doP2ZYYXagDisclaimer: I am turning into a cynical old grump dear lord.

I was impressed by the feathery as-yet-unnamed Welsh dinosaur (which is probably somewhere near Coelophysoidea in the theropod family tree). The scaly Echinodon, though. Seeing a scaly Heterodontosaurid is weird nowadays.

Some reviewers have said that, while informative, the series is presented in a rather bland and unengaging way. I'll give it a watch myself, though.
