Much like the recommended reading thread I believe there should also be a thread for recommending TV programmes.
I suppose I'll get the ball rolling.

Walking With Dinosaurs:
For many the ultimate in dinosaur TV programmes. Sure some of the facts are a bit... wrong on occasion, but one cannot deny that the series is both very entertaining and educational to a decent degree.
The series is available on DVD RRP €25

The Truth About Killer Dinosaurs:
A two part series.
Part one investigates the age old question; Who'd win in a fight, T.rex or Triceratops? We get to see what happens when T.rex's jaws are set loose on a mini Cooper along the way!
Part two is all about the infamous Velociraptor and the armoured ankylosaur. Surprises gallore in this episode. For example did you know Velociraptor's sickle shaped claw was not for disembowling prey as once taught, but something equally sinister?
With up to date information and some very impressive CGI sequences this is a definitive watch.
Although it is supposed to be available on DVD I have never seen a copy in the shops. It gets shown on TV now and then. If you hear about it, look it up. it's well worth it!

There is a second Walking with Dinosaurs, I saw some of it on discovery.

There is also a show about prehistoric aquatic animals, they made a scale Mesosaur

With the death of Michael Crichton who was working on the 4th release, does anyone expect JP 4 to be produced?

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0369610/

As corny or inaccurate as they are, I always liked the movies. It would be a shame for this one to fall apart.

[Nerin]

Theres been rumors for ages,nothing concrete yet. There was another thread a few months back i think.

Oh,and after number 2,its nothing to do with crichton,he only did two books.

[Galvasean]

Actually this is the first JP4 thread to be posted on this forum (or dedicated Jurassic Park thread for that matter), surprisingly enough.
If they do go about making JP4 I hope they actually go into production with a finished script. That was JP3's main problem (although there were many arguably). It was pretty much lumped together as it went along and then bang, not so much an ending, but a finish point.

[Nerin]

There were a few alleged script leakings,the first one had alot of promise,but had tacked on super soldier dinos. Ugh. The one i read bits of was- dinos got off island. Spread throughout world. Prehistoric virus wipes out alot of the population. So its kinda post apocalyptic. Sounded good. Super soldier raptors? Pashaw i say. Pashaw ho hum.

[dlofnep]

Dino soldiers is a bit OTT. I wanna see real dinosaurs.

Yup, alleged being the key word here. A few synopsises have been thrown out. Spielberg rejected a few submissions. Certainly nothing close to a proper, let alone working script. They haven't even done out a treatment or confirmed writers.
The last rumours I heard were that Laura Dern was signed up for it. Turns out that's an exaggeration. She merely said she might like to do another Jurassic Park film.
There was also a wild rumour that David Lynch was going to direct, perhaps the stupidest rumour of all time TBH. I'd eat my hat if it happened.
Spielberg awhile back said if JP4 was made he would like to see the motorbike chase scene (or at least a variation of it) from the Lost World book incorporated.

At the moment I don't think the project is even green lit any more.

I just recived a link for a Geology documentry series RTE produced this year. Episode 3 is all about palaontology in Ireland. Learnt a few things I never knew before. Dr Patrick Wyse Jackson also interviewed Dr Wyse Jackson is the curator of the geology museum in TCD. If you havent been its well worth a visit.

New show starting on Wednesday (21st) at 9pm on the History Channel.

Just caught the ad for it now. Paul Sereno is involved (always a good sign) and it appears to be using CG from Jurassic Fight Club.

[Galvasean]

Since the show starts today taught I'd post some info to whet the appetite.

Thanks for the heads up! Caught it on History +1.... Poor lil baby T-Rex =[

Nano-T like a ''cheetah on steroids" , deadly!!

Good program, went a bit makey-uppy at the end though

[dlofnep]

I missed it. Will have a look online for it..

[Galvasean]

I've managed to miss both episodes so far and will miss tonght's episode due to work commitments.
Can anyone verify if this is just Jurassic Fight Club under a different name?
