Planet Dinosaur (Season 1)

Planet Dinosaur (2011) is a six-part BBC documentary series you can watch online on iFILM, narrated by John Hurt. Built on fossil evidence current to 2011 and detailed CGI, the series reconstructs fifty prehistoric species in the environments they actually inhabited — not as museum specimens, but as living animals with behaviors to study.

Each episode targets a distinct prehistoric ecosystem: feeding strategies, territorial conflict, predator-prey dynamics. The science here reflects discoveries made in the decades since older dinosaur documentaries were produced, and it shows — the animals move and interact differently from the classic templates. A solid pick for anyone with a genuine interest in paleontology or natural history, not just children.
