150 million years ago dinosaurs ruled the land, but the oceans were dominated by a mysterious sea monster. Sir David Attenborough joins two of the UK’s most intrepid fossil hunters on their perilous expedition to excavate the skull from its resting place 12 metres up in the cliffs of Dorset...

Imagine disliking this man for his genuine talent in explaining things about our natural world to the masses, despite his decades long career, studying and traveling himself. Sir David Attenborough is a rare gem and the best possible example of human curiosity and charity towards the cultivation of knowledge. Don't mind the haters. Sending love from Los Angeles, CA

David Attenborough just has so many things to say and he’s the best man to care about nature. Which means the ecosystems will be at even more risk of being destroyed when he’s gone.

Sorry I disagree. The guy prefaces everything he says with a dire warning about climate change. Man, not climate, has done more to alter the course of modern ecosystems. Specifically, population growth has put tremendous pressure on wild animals. For him to harp on climate change and not population growth is a travesty

Does he have any kids, or is he mentoring anyone? Perhaps one or more of them could take up the baton. I am sure that besides the people he works with directly, he has inspired many to study biology, ecology, and wildlife and botanical conservation, as well as ways to reform agricultural and animal husbandry practices.
Fantastic! Always a delight to hear Sir David Attenborough as well.

An amazingly fierce, prehistoric creature. To be such a massive aquatic predator really shows that during that time. Ferocious animals that were quite large was the norm in that time period

This looks really impressive and really breathtaking and David Attenborough could easily pull it off, just as amazing as Prehistoric Planet.
Pretty cool David Attenborough is still around. I’m glad.

Sir Attenborough could narrate a moving glacier and it's still fascinating.
On that ship talking is one of nature’s greatest achievements. A magnificent specimen of academia.

Without doubt the best programme on television over the festive season 🎉
I hope they have his voice prerecorded (with permission if course) so that we can continue to hear his voice in the far future
Sir David Attenborough voice alone is something else.
What an undertaking...phew.
Just love listening to him ❗️❗️❗️👏👍👍
I got 8 of these delivered yesterday to my park in Jurussic World Evolution 2. If you love dinosaurs/Jurussic Park- the game is a wet dream. Highly recommend it!!
When I saw that behemoth I thought "is this another Liopleurodon", but this monster makes Liopleurodon look like a Tiger Shark, small in comparison!
I love this man 😭
Really looking forward to seeing this
He has a great story telling voice
Just one issue can we stop comparing every big predator we see to a Tyrannosaurus. The comparison thing is getting annoyingly old.
Unbelieveble,,,i love this video ,history and educational
Phillip Jacobs conducted the initial find of the snout and then donated the fossil find. Delighted for this content despite the BBC lack of credit for the actually discovery by Phillip and even his photography of the cliff to help identify where the rest of the skull might be.
Beautifully made ❤
well thats terrifying

David: what lurks underneath me is the pliosaur Me: well he is in Dorset in the South Coast on England and the background was just CGI that the BBC editors put together, but amazing discovery David. But it also just goes to show just how blossomed the UK is with fossils and a great natural history although it did exist as an island for hundreds of millions of years.
