Planet Dinosaur - coming soon on BBC One

[Clinton Huxley]

I'm sick of the fucking dinosaurs. Why not run a six week series about abiogenesis or something?

I would love to see the BBC Life series do abiogenesis. It's the next logical step.

I think KLR is right, not many people are going to watch a molecule slowly dismantle another molecule....I mean I would but Joe Q Public? Not if hollyoaks is on.

I'm sure they could sex it up enough to make it interesting to watch.

Sexy molecules....look at th hydrogen bond on that!

For those who've not seen it yet, this is great too.

It would be good for a one-off one hour program, if they did it properly. Maybe an episode of Horizon dedicated to the current thinking on abiogenesis. Of course, there's much more to it than you can relate in an hour.

One of the things that's impressed me about the BBC Life series is that they've never, ever been tempted to address Creationism. They just give the facts, or the current best guesses based on the facts. They've never given Creationism/ID any undeserved credibility by ever mentioning it in a natural history programme.

These diansaurs are getting on the box a lot lately. Do TV producers understand what extinct means?

Apparently you don't, as there are around 10,000 living species of dinosaur around today.

Such a series would be overrelient on speculation. We need to await more evidence.

I watched it on ipayer, not impressed myself.

Too descriptive. The entire thing was delivered like one of those monotone lectures designed to destroy all interest in the subject.

In the current episode, John Hurt - in a suitably solemn voice - referred to the spikes at the end of a Stegosaur's tail as ... the Thagomizer!!!


Thank you, Gary Larson!

This is not really a criticism, but I'm turned off by the sound effects.
They all have the same roar, which is a cross between bullock and lion.

I can't think what I could have done better, but it just somehow detracts from the realism for some reason. The visuals are good, the movement isn't all that convincing, but it's better than it was.
But the sound. I dunno. Maybe more variety or something?

At her age, she needs to replenish her polymers often, and today, she has left her young band of left-handed isomeres unattended....


I don't know 'bout you's'all, but I loves me the BBC dinosaur stuff. I gots it all.

I don't have cable, so I don't get the BBC. Wonder if I might get it through this here intarwab thing?


(I'm easily entertained [and distracted]. One day my roomates came home to find me transfixed by a documentary on the New York water and treatment system -- which is a fascinating subject, by the way -- and I was forever after teased for watching "the sewer channel.")

As for getting BBC content: Auntie doesn't seem to mind much that her programs end up on the internet, especially if they are about Science, Nature or History. Search and Ye shall find. Using a download add-on like DownlodHelper for Firefox is also recommend.

That Dan Snow gets on my tits. He's on every second program on the BBC.
And we all know that he's only there because of his dad.

The BBC is turning into a private club for certain families. If your name is Snow, or Dimbleby, they will shovel money in your pocket and keep making programs just for you.

I'm going to change my name to Dimbleby. I could do with a few quid.
