Epic trailer for the new Walking With Dinosaurs series released

The trailer for the brand new series of Walking With Dinosaurs has just been released, which sees the prehistoric world brought to life again.

The show blends real-life historical discoveries with computer generated footage of dinosaurs as they would have lived millions of years ago.

The makers say episodes will take viewers from the science behind dinosaur fossils to the dramatic scenes when they roamed the Earth.

Walking With Dinosaurs will be released this year on BBC One and iPlayer.

The show is famous for its computer generated models of dinosaurs

The new series comes more than 25 years since the very first episode of the show, and will tell the story of six dinosaurs, including:

• The Spinosaurus, the largest ever meat-eating dinosaur to walk the earth

• A Triceratops battling a T.rex

• A giant Lusotitan in love in Portugal

British actor Bertie Carvel will be the narrator for the new series

The team behind Walking With Dinosaurs have announced that British actor Bertie Carvel will be the narrator for the new series, guiding viewers through each of the six prehistoric stories.

Bertie has won an Olivier Award for Best Actor in a Musical for his role playing Miss Trunchbull in Matilda the Musical on the West End.

Walking With Dinosaurs was first shown back in 1999, and inspired a series of programmes that used visual effects to tell the story of our history, including Walking With Beasts, Walking With Cavemen and Walking With Monsters.
