This is in no way a Natural History Documentary.
That said it does have it's place, even as a piece of complete fantasy, Nigel Marvin presents these very real, yet extinct animals in a way that is extremely engaging for it's young target audience.
This can only be a good thing to get the next generation involved and interested in the natural world, these animals may be extinct but their DNA lives on all around us.
The Time Portal and Park are just tools to get the facts and popular opinion of how these amazing creatures looked, behaved and interacted across to the palaeontologist, zoologists and conservationists of the future.
You can't knock it for that!

I am intrigued by this. I don't have a T.V. or a Wireless and I don't buy newspapers. So how do I keep up with things? I keep my ears open and I TALK to people. What has this to do with a review? Quite a bit. I found myself believing in this. I wanted to find out about the Mammoth and how she integrated. I felt sorry for the Dragonfly 'cos he was taken out of his environment and left ALONE. If a necessarily fictional programme can do this and make a cynic "believe" there must be something in it. The descriptions of the various lifestyles are, necessarily, conjectural but they are logical and probable. I would certainly recommend this to anyone interested in extinction - and how it could (?) be prevented. Forbye, it's exciting and daft and enjoyable. I am over 60 years of age and have never "grown up" and I don't want to. 'Nuff sed!
great for the kids (and parents)

My son has been increasingly interested in dinosaurs over the last couple of years (he's now 4) and I have found it increasingly difficult to find non-gory or frightening programmes for him to watch. As far as I'm concerned this is a parent's dream: there's no need to be concerned about language or excessive blood and no chance of a T-Rex biting anyone out of a car, or being eaten by a sabre-tooth cat. It's educational and fun - what more could you ask for?
Absolutely Fantastic

My 7 year old daughter now wants nothing more than to be Nigel Marven. She's adament that when she's grown up she too is going to rescue animals (although at 7 she understands the unlikely possibility of this involving time travel). This was fantastic. The man has such a wonderful love of wild life in general. Its his ability to relate all these animals to modern day animals that has allowed all of us to bring these creatures very much to life. I can seriously recommend this.

I bought this for my Dinosaur mad son who is 10, and he has watched it countless times. I found it informative and very interesting - totally unique.
