    Extra dinosaurs .One word ,EXCELLENT!!

    Chased by dinosaurs is a two part series ,in which as I understood the creators of Walking with Dinosaurs decided to make in order to focus in some dinosaur species, who did not had scene time in the Original series. Personally I think this was a great idea and even greater was to have as presenter Nigel Marven ,who with his energy and love of his work was the ideal person for the job. My only complain is the fact that the series ended so quickly, I mean I like they did not made it in to a cash cow ,but with so many weird species in the archosaurs family, I feel a bit cheated. Nevertheless this safari-style like the Walking with Dinosaurs was perfect and works to the show advantage the fact that is more of a focus on a specific dinosaurs rather than a tour of their kingdom though time. In the end, I loved it and recommend it for you ,Happy Dino-hours.

    pretty cool...

    I saw this a while back, and it was pretty cool. Its been a while, so I don't quite remember everything. But I do remember that it was done terrific. Nigel was great, and the CG and live-action blended seamlessly. It's a definite for anyone who loves all of the Discover Channels Dino-Documentaries. It combined elements of Walking With Dinosaurs and When Dinosaurs Roamed America, with elements of Nigels own Wild Animal Docs. Its really interesting, the dinos look amazing, and its even a bit funny. The one draw back is the length of time. Being a dinosaur lover, I would like for a really epic doc, and even though Chased is entertaining, and it's not too short, I would just like to see longer docs, or maybe more of these. Anyway, if you get the chance, check it out.

    An epic prehistoric adventure

    The sixth entry in the 'Walking with', series and in some ways it is the best. Zoologist Nigel Marvin goes crocodile hunter in three different programs of prehistoric scale. From following the migration of the South American giant Argentinasaurus (the largest known dinosaur), to humping miles of Mongolian desert in search of the mysterious 30" clawed Therizionsaurus. Then, onto diving in the seven deadliest prehistoric seas, with creatures ranging from the 3 meter fish-eating reptile Nothosaurus, to the 15 meter, whale-eating shark Megalodon. Whoever says that man is the greatest species on the planet, has a lot to learn, perhaps this will clue you in. Fun, freaky and highly educational, this is something anyone can enjoy.

    Emmy award winning Dinosaur fun!

    This is a terrific show! - a mix of natural history, sci-fi and drama. Nigel has bags of charisma and really helps the show to both educate and entertain, all at the same time.

    Overall it's original, exciting and a testimony to all involved (hence the well deserved Emmy). I hope that the team assembles for a modern version!

    One of the best documentaries of all time

    I have nothing but absolute praise for this documentary! There are so many things to love about this documentary! First, the CGI is - as always in the Walking with Trilogy - absolutely perfect. The animals look like they are actually in the landscapes that are being filmed. You won't find any documentaries from other producers that look better. Also, Nigel Marven's acting is really good and convincing. Even though the creatures will mostly be added in later, he still acts as if there were real creatures he's interacting with him. Also, the storytelling is really good. For example, Nigel tells us that Therizinosaurus was probably a carnivore, like most theropods. It's over the course of the show that he finds out Therizinosaurus is actually one of the strangest herbivorous dinosaurs ever.

    Storyline

    • Trivia
      As in other BBC prehistorie documentaires, some CGI models are recycled from previous productions to save cost. In "The Giant Claw", the Saurolophus and Tarbosaurus models are a recolored reuse of the Anatotitan and Tyrannosaurus models from the final episode ("Death of a Dynasty") of Walking With Dinosaurs (the Saurolophus also adds a small crest at the back of the head). The iguanodonts from "Land of Giants" are a reuse of the Iguanodon model from the Walking With Dinosaurs episode "Giant of the Skies", and the pterosaur from "The Giant Claw" (identificeert as Azdharcho on the BBC website) are a reuse of the Quetzalcoatlus model from "Death of a Dynasty" (itself a modificeer version of the Ornithocheirus seen in "Giant of the Skies").
    • Goofs
      During the title sequence, a pterosaur flies past above a Saurolophus, but it doesn't cast a shadow on it. Also, the shadow of the Tarbosaurus' feet don't match up, its left foot seems to be slightly floating.
    • Alternate versions
      In some DVD releases Sea Monsters: A Walking with Dinosaurs Trilogy (2003) is included as being part of Chased by Dinosaurs, likely because of their similar styles and the fact they both star Nigel Marven.
