We were kindly sent this video trailer for this series by one of the publicists for this particular programme at the BBC television centre – enjoy!

Please note – the trailer for this television series first aired in September 2011 has now been removed from the Everything Dinosaur web log.

The first episode will feature Spinosaurus and Carcharodontosaurus.  In an episode entitled “Lost World” viewers are transported back to Africa in the Early Cretaceous to view an ecosystem dominated by two very different apex predators.  Look out for the fearsome crocs as well.
