Walking with dinosaurs

[Chris Lavers <chris.lavers@nottingham.ac.uk>]

Just an update on Walking with Dinosaurs, the BBC's forthcoming series
(2000/2001). Apparently it's gonna be the most expensive series of its type
ever made (>1 million stlg per episode), more expensive even than the
Natural History Unit's previous wildlife documentary mega-productions (Life
of Birds etc.). Unfortunately, the usual narrator of such productions,
David Attenborough, has apparently said that he doesn't want to do this
one, which has caused something of a stink at the BBC.

If any experts are interested in communicating with the BBC's NHU about
their plans for this series (anyone wanna narrate it?!), I have names and
addresses. Enquiries off list.

Best wishes
Chris
