    PreHistoric Park

    This serial is one the best of its kind. You learn much about dinosaurs and the prehistoric age, as well as you have a lot of fun! The animation is very good, except for some times when it's not so good... The story of the serial is about the man, Nigel, and his park crew that travels back in time to the prehistoric age to rescue some of the dinosaurs and other animals from extinction. But for every animal Nigel saves, there are three problems in the park that needs solving. And what happens when the animals starts attack each other? How can Nigel and his crew solve these problems? Follow them in this world exiting serial!

    All in all, it's a good serial with lots of good characters and special effects!

    This is a must see!

    My whole family loved this series. My 8 year old daughter in particular; she has now told us that wants to be a vet *and* an archaeologist and "dig up bones like Nigel." It shows the fascination that this show holds for people; particularly children.

    Yes, the animals are CGI for the most part, with the odd bit of animatronics, but even for those of us who have seen movies like 'Jurassic Park' this still seems more realistic; particularly with Nigel discussing the various creatures he sees. His educational technique is very good, as he obviously teaches without people feeling they're being bored with facts and figures.

    We have the DVD now as well, which my daughter is in danger of wearing out. I only hope they make more of this brilliant show, as it was so good.

    Cool show

    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 true heir of Jurassic Park

    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.

    very good

    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!

    • Trivia
      The show put forward the then-proposed idea that the ostrich-like dinosaurs were water-going filter-feeders like modern-day ducks. This theory isn't accepted anymore.
    • Goofs
      Even though the characters have a time machine, the need to act quickly to save prehistoric animals is brought up in several episodes. In one episode, it's even a plot point that they arrived too late to save some saber-toothed cat cubs, which makes no sense.
    • Quotes

      [repeated line]

      Narrator: There is something missing from our world. The amazing animals that time has left behind. But what if we can bring them back? What if extinction didn't have to be forever? We're going back in time on a safari with a difference, as wild life adventurer Nigel Marven plunges into pre-history to rescue creatures on the brink of extinction. His plan is to bring them back to the safety of the present and give them a second chance.
