2:08 Damn, this part is so well-made and still looks extremely good. This pilot has the same vibe and magic as the final product, the music at the end is beautiful. Truly the best media featuring prehistoric animals, i hope that they will capture the same feeling with WWD 2025.

0:41 These rhamphorhynchus sounds just like Ridley in the GBA Metroid games, probably the same stock SFX.

NO FUCKING WAY

holy shit how did no one tell me this was released

OLD LIOPLEURODON 😢😢😢

It’s beautiful. If I had seen this at age 13, I would have been so happy because that’s when I started searching for this pilot.

The music for this series is seriously underappreciated, it sells EVERY emotional beat needed, it makes all the difference from watching some animal, and caring about an animal and his journey

Tim Curry?

0:28 the music here was beautiful. It’s a shame that the music never made it to the actual show

Who was the narrator for this pilot?

Oh my god, this is beautiful!

NOW I WISH SOMEONE FIND THE LATIN SPANISH DUBS FROM THE SAGA,THEY ARE LOST

So this was from 1996?

Без Дроздова не то)

Thank you ❤

Amazing how far the quality and format and animation came within just three years of this. Do you know who the narrator is here? I like his narration but no one can ever surpass Kenneth Branagh's narration. I'm not British so WWD is how I first heard of him (I've been watching the "Walking With" series since I was seven).

It’s a shame they made the real thing less scientific. Classic BBC (and the British establishment in general) thinking the public are dumb. It was a smart move to give the individual animals a story though.

Where do you find it?

You can see the corners they cut for this pilot, but it was worth it. The final product is some of the best Dinosaur media out there.

never understood how fossils of a 20 foot reptile translated into a 60 foot Liopleurodon. Not only that, but the idea that it was the largest carnivore ever, despite being dwarfed by megalodon. which was a known species at the time.

Does anyone know the name of the track at the beginning?

Nunca imagine que tuviera un piloto y fuera lost media como fan de cambiando con dinosaurios es fascinante verlo y el diseño de los dinosaurios es algo raro para mi no se porque

I appreciate that.

Is the narrator Michael Buerk?

Wow, thanks! It turns out that I had already seen the scene with the swimming Liopleurodon in episode 7, where the making of the series was shown. Well, Heines showed us an enormous Liopleurodon ferox as early as in 1996 so it is actually the Aramberri Monster which was identified as L. ferox back then. The time period is the very end of the Tithonian age of the Jurassic which is also close to the time when the Aramberri Monster existed. However, the Mexican pliosaur probably lived in the Early Cretaceous. As we can see on the stratigraphic chart of 1996, the beginning of the Cretaceous had been calculating as 130 Ma then. It is noteworthy that marine crocodiles are mentioned here, that is, we could have seen a Metriorhynchus as early as in 1999. I also like the shots with the footprints. It's a shame we didn't see them in the final version.

I remember (barely) seeing one mention in a forum like 10 years ago about there being a lost pilot episode for WWD. I never believed it and thought that even if it did exist, it'd look terrible. I'm astounded at the effort they put into a simple pilot for a show that they didn't even know whether or not they'd be able to fully produce. I've always loved WWD and was extremely happy when I saw they're remaking it in 2025. I'm impressed you managed to find this. If you don't mind me asking, how did you find it? I'm chronically online and as I said earlier I've only seen 1 mention of it 10 years ago.

Is that Tony Jay narrating?

I wonder if they had that same closeup animatronic for the Liopleurodon used in the final show, but with a different color scheme.

Do you know if the soundtrack for the new WWD will be make by Ben Bartlett ? I really hope

Wait ? It was really a walking with dinosaurs clip ? Or just a fan rearrangement ? Someone can explain please, I am confused ?

This was absolutely incredible. I can see some of the things in this plot that were incorporated into cruel sea. Especially with a Liopleurdon getting beached and dying and becoming food for the Eustreptospondylus

I didn't imagine the pilot episode was a lost media

I hear Walking with Dinosaurs is getting a second season from the 1999 series in 2025. I can't wait!

„Jurassic Park“ Got The Velociraptor Wrong, „Walking With Dinosaurs“ Has The Liopleurodon For That

Strepto looks like a 70s invicta megalosaurus with the neck and head. I think i approve

So that's how a proof of concept should look like. 🤔 I see. Well, time to get to the drawing board.

His weight alone would be 150 tons: thee-hundred-thousand-pounds; nothing, not even a blue whale, has such body-mass, and his length was at least *85 feet long*, thus guy's *huge*, but also, in that environment, completely defenseless as he's fully out of his environment, since he cannot move, he cannot escape nor feasibly defend himself against aggression, and since animals are basically atheistic: anybody who *can* take material advantage of him is sure to do just exactly that. His skull alone was also 16 feet long!

Most of the products of BBC are absolute *garbage* these days; pure poison really, but *this* is one of the few *good* products they've produced in recent decades; their natural history films are still feasibly worthwhile, even if almost everything else that they once made worthwhile, say in WW2, has quite literally gone to pot; and I do mean that their products are actually much *worse* by and large than taking *pot* into oneself!

Is it just me, or is that opening soundtrack from The Private Life of Plants?

I forgot what species of pterosaur was in it considering they don’t mention them by name

How you found it? 😮

i kinda like the Eustreptospondylus design better here than in the actual show, in they show they gave it and allosaurus that weird short snout for some reason

lol i knew i wasn't dreaming i think saw this one as a child and forgot

So who's hear after hearing about BBC making a revival of the walking with series?

I can rest now

The search is over🫡

What a pleasant surprise

Amazing ! Just Amazing ! AND almost 1 year coincidentaly apart before the return of the franchise in 2025 ! This piece of media should have been released since the initial broadcast of the 1999 series. It's really weird and mysterious why BBC did not even let people watch it. Because it's an extremely important paleomedia, give it's the roots themselves of one of the greatiestad most important paleomedia in Human History ! I don't know how even you managed to get you hands on, but man ! glad you was able to and let it finally be public for anyone interested to see it ! Especially any WWD fans ! Thank you very much.

I wish we could watch this without the text on top of the video.

Spanish subtitles plss
