Dinosaur - with Stephen Fry: Episode One - a review
Hoo boy, strap in... So on Sunday the 13th, Dinosaur - With Stephen Fry premiered on the british Channel 5. Remember how I said I was interested in it? That as the first major palaeo-documentary after Prehistoric Planet and had the rare "Human host back in time and interacts with them" format I love and want to see more, I was hyped and eagerly awaited more after its announcement. But then came the trailer , and all that hype pretty much vanished. Once did premiered however, the Palaeosphere literally flipped on it overnight. Why? Stephen Fry's Dinosaur was not very good. At all. It feels like the monkey's fist flipped me and us all off, a cheap cash in on the success of Prehistoric Planet . The basic premise is that Stephen Fry imagines himself going back in time to interact with dinosaurs. The first episode focuses on the Jurassic period and focusing on both Diplodocus and Allosaurus and a confrontation between them, before Fry watches the Diplos do other stuff...
