Walking With Dinosaurs
In 1999 the BBC's Walking With Dinosaurs TV series changed the way we saw dinosaurs forever. This revolutionary show takes viewers right into the dinosaurs' world, showing them as if they were alive and filmed in the wild. Since then, the series has been seen by millions of people around the world and has won three Emmy awards. It brings to life the mystery and excitement of the age when these reptiles roamed our planet.

The makers of Walking With Dinosaurs returned to make two specials, The Ballad Of Big Al and Land Of Giants & The Giant Claw to continue to delight fans of the original series.

The Ballad of Big Al
Years ago, an amazing fossil was unearthed in Wyoming USA. Not only were the bones they found those of a dinosaur 'Big Al', but the skeleton of this creature was very nearly complete. The first programme follows his life – a 15-year story of a lone battle against formidable prey and voracious predators, whilst the second programme traces the scientific evidence of Big Al.

Land of Giants & The Giant Claw
In Land of Giants we join the adventuring zoologist, Nigel Marven as he visits the Argentinean landscape of 100 million years ago to attempt to see the biggest land predator bring down the biggest land prey, but will he succeed? In The Giant Claw Nigel travels back 75 million years to Mongolia, to track down the owner of the largest claws ever discovered. Negotiating the hazards of the Cretaceous is no walk in the park - will he live to discover the true nature of his quarry?

Kenneth Clarke 1
R594 Discovery Miles 5 940 Ships in 15 - 30 working days

Kenneth Clarke's eloquent and deeply personal documentary series exploring the cultural heritage of the western world, from the collapse of the Roman Empire until the birth of modernism, was groundbreaking television when first broadcast by the BBC in 1969. With its use of exotic locations, and its engaging presenter with his idiosyncratic style, it influenced much of what was to follow. Progressing from the cultural effects of feudalism in medieval Europe to the birth of the Renaissance in fifteenth-century Florence, from revolutionary politics in France after 1789 to the growth of materialism in artistic and scientific discourse, Clarke did not just examine 'art', but wanted to reveal the spiritual and humanistic motives behind its creation. Includes all 13 episodes.
