Prehistoric Park

This series is definitely the most entertaining on TV after the end of Dr who season 2. In a world full of reality TV trash, it's good to see a TV show with some effort put into it! This series is far from perfect- the effects are lesser to those of Jurrassic park and walking with dinosaurs even though they are 13 and 7 years old! And it doesn't have that 'wow' factor that the other two had. Maybe this is because of it's odd docu-style format. The title is a complete rip-off they could have come up with a more original name, couldn't they?! After just seeing 1 episode, i'd give it 8 out of 10. I'm deducting points because it's a bit of a rip off. But i'm sad that there won't be a second series until at least 2008. I was thinking i would be disappointed by this show because of the common and annoying amount of adverts ITV has injected onto us-- and i wasn't. :) :D

This documentary series has an interesting format. It is presented like a regular zoo or animal show but it contains prehistoric animals along the lines of Walking With Dinosaurs. It makes for a very engaging and hands-on approach.

The series is educational, interesting and funny. I got the box set and i enjoy watching it. Alomst everyone in my family does, we have not had the disk that long but it has already been watched millions of times, and I'm surprised it hasn't broken. Each episode focuses on a different time so no matter which part of the prehistoric history you are interested in, it will be there with plenty of fun clips and facts. Another bonus is that the animation is excellent and at times believable. As well as facts there is a story with each one, sometimes sad and sometimes scary. For anyone this is a great series and well worth watching!

After seen the Jurassic World I felt a bit disappointed, because it was a simple cash cow in order to take money and I felt it is time to remind to the world the true successor of the Jurassic Park, the mini series of 2006, Prehistiric Park. The concept is silly, but the execution was great. The story goes like that, in the present day Nigel Marven and his team has made a park in order to accommodate excited creatures, which they bring back from the time those were going extinct. The idea is like a cross between Back to the Future and Jurassic Park ,but the crew and its reaction in the way the story works is almost perfectly and the manner they try to find by which way the animal will react by comparing them with the modern day counterparts is great, because for example, either you live in modern day, the Ice Age, the Mesozoid Era or the Carboniforous a top predator is a top predator and its other characteristics, like environment,class or even anatomy are secondary. In the end the only drawbacks the series had was the CGI for two or three animal ,it is was a bit a sword thump and its short length, after the end of the sixth and last episode you crave for more and unfortunately the satisfaction never comes, boomer! Anyway I still like it and recommended for the dinosaur enthusiast and followers of Jurassic Park and for real Mr Marven you have a thing on going back in time, I think that is a bit of a bad habit for a homo sapiens, If you really want to travel trough time just team up with the Doctor(ha ha ha ha !!) he will be as excited as you and even more.

OK heres the dillio. This show is the bomb. It shows amazing CGI effects and good , slightly over-done acting. I love it. If you don't get the show torrent it. I found five episodes , the sixth should be up in a few days. Many people say that this is a rip-off of Walking with Dinosaurs and Walking with Prehistoric Beasts. Interesting theory but no. This show was done by the makers of the Walking with series. Some of the animals had a makeover ( phorusracus , meganeura) but some are the same (mammoth , arthropleura , giant scorpion , etc.). This show follows Nigel Marvin who also played himself in two other walking with specials (The Giant Claw , Land of Giants , Chased by Sea Monsters) . So , if you can stand the overacting give this show a watch.

PS. BOB ROCKS!!!
