- The United Kingdom is a country steeped in rich history - from the arrival of the Romans to the Industrial Revolution, from the establishment of the British Empire to the bloody battles of World War One and World War Two. Many of us are familiar with this country’s past - but surprisingly few of us can hold a conversation about what was going on before recorded human history began. How many of us can speak of the expansive Carboniferous swamps, or the great beasts that roamed Britain throughout the Cretaceous?
The United Kingdom’s millions of years of prehistory hold more secrets than we could ever imagine. With the science of paleontology, we are able to piece together a series of snapshots based on various points in prehistoric time, with the help of the fascinating, and often bizarre, fossils we have discovered at this country’s bountiful dig sites. From these snapshots, we can determine just who was present on the scene at those points in prehistoric time. The land that would one day come to be known as The United Kingdom has played host to a plethora of weird and wonderful life forms in its lifetime.
In this documentary, we will explore several of them in detail. Period by period; epoch by epoch, we will take a look at the great beasts that have called this land home, in all their magnificent glory.

I miss watching this kind of calm and relaxing documentaries on TV. For the past decade or so, documentaries have become loud, obnoxious, sensationalist schlock that seem more like reality shows than documentaries.
Definitely.
That's the liberals for you, they ruin everything
Wonderful! It's so nice to see someone actually delve into our prehistoric past, and bring to light some of the wonderful creatures that once roamed our lands, seas and skies! Whilst most people might know that the earliest discoveries of dinosaurs happened here in the UK, I doubt many would have known about the creatures living in our country before the dinosaurs. And whilst a lot of the really big discoveries, in terms of size and importance, might occur elsewhere, its very nice to learn about the things that lived here before we did, and realise that our own prehistoric past was just as rich as our history is.
so i've now watched all the mini doc's on your channel
everyone of them was really interesting and i can tell, that you put a lot of work putting them together
and so i just wanted to say, Thank you
your films helped calm down my anxiety, that was due to your calm soothing voice, and because they were so interesting ( i mean who doesn't love dinosaurs and such ) they managed to hold my attention long enough to actually watch them properly
i hope i don't sound weird or creepy or nowt, cause i don't mean to
i just wanted to let you know i appreciate the work you did ( but not in a weird way, if you know what i mean )
Thanks, take care
i hope you upload more of your mini doc's, maybe about the mega-beasts
This is such high-quality content! You guys deserve way more subs!
Very apt showing the Houses of Parliament....Full of dinosaurs!!
Particular with the dinosaur content I consume, you crafted an amazing exquisite professional work. Successfully in a compelling expanded my knowledge of British dinos beyond Megalosaurus and the few others i knew.
Well done. That was an excellent documentary. Still amazing how different types of creatures have roamed different parts of Earth, in this case, Great Britain, Scotland, Wales, and Ireland.
2 am in the morning ,nothing just my brain doing his thing
2am and your ma is doing my thing
@@merikatools568 my ma is dead how she gonna do da thing
That's why she didn't move much
Watched this video with great interest. As I am from the U.K and enjoyed the many time periods throughout earth's history. I subscribed to your channel and I am looking forward to watching more of your video's. 💪🏼🙏🏻
He has one thing wrong that I can tell; the British species of Iguanadon was reclassified as Mantellisaurus several years ago.
The main species of Iguanadon is now I. bernissartensis, originally described by Louis Dollo.
Just found this account and I absolutely love it 🤍💙
Simply excellent production. Clearly explained, well illustrated and absorbing. What about Homo Heidelbergensis or other early hominids in Britain found through their beach footprints, talking 800,000 years ago if I read right.
Great documentary. Loved it.
Loved this video!!!
Beautifully crafted, fascinating content, these documentaries are of excellent quality. Thank you.
Great video
Loving the whole series
I like, I subscribe!
Outstanding work. Loved it.
the narrator is extremely well spoken. why isnt he listed anywhere?
He doesn’t exist. He is but a figment of your imagination
We'd all love to see a dinosaur alive again.
Interesting video
Something that everyone gets wrong, especially after the first, "Jurassic Park" movie, are the "thumping" foot falls of the heavy dinosaurs. Many dinosaurs were smaller than today's elephant and other large mammals, yet on television and in movies, these animals sound massive by their foot falls. Note that elephants, and the others, dispite their weight, actually walk quietly. Think about it. Would it make sense for an animal to "advertise" its whereabouts by sound to a carnivore looking for a meal? Of course they dodn;y make sounds. However, the special effects people decided that they did, so everyone expects to hear that "wrong" sound. It's pretty much the same with their "roars", many not having the proper vocal equipment to make a sound. On the other hand, since people who should know say that the dinosaurs were the ancestors of today's birds, perhaps they sounded like birds. I can picture, in my head, a T-rex waking to the morning sun and sounding like a large rooster.
I agree! It's even more stupid for a carnivore to start roaring whenever they get close to their prey, as if it wouldn't scare them away. The thumping, though... it would actually be more scary, and interesting, in Jurassic Park if the water in the glass just moved and no sound was heard, as the Tyrannosaurus approached.
And then it opened its mouth and said CLUCK CLUCK! 🐓🐓🐓 Hm, no... we understand why they went with the roar.
10:19 why is there a slide of Australian megafauna while your talking about the Permian?
England. It is seldom that I enjoy American documentaries due to the fact I hate being talked 'AT' by demented wide open spaces surrounded by teeth. However this video is as good as it gets. I'm 76 and learned something. Thank God we didn't have any T Rex, nice to know there was a bit of class all those years ago. I wonder- trilobite on toast, worth a try. Subd.
The music really puts me of these otherwise enjoyable videos
👏👏👏👏👏
British Prehistoric Creatures. I thought this was a documentary about the House of Lords?
10:20 ‘Permian’
Bruh that’s waaaay after the Permian. Like the Cenozioc
If you must have music could you please turn it down enough to hear the words
The dinosaurs died likely caused by the gravity changing suddenly.
Global warming caused by volcanic activity and possibly a meteorite, either way reducing the amount of oxygen in the atmosphere, large animals just couldn't breathe enough air to fuel their huge bodies. But no one knows for sure.

20:09 *
I would love to have an arthropleura living in my garden. Bet I'd never have a single pest regardless of how many legs they had.
As soon as ancient men stepped into lands of england they were: odd innit
It would be much better without the "musical" background. That background noise adds nothing to the video but is an impediment to intelligibility.
Sometimes the music is 2-3 decibel too loud, but otherwise I think it is fine. Would be boring with out it.
*Why is this guy whispering? Is this all a secret?*
Amazing, how they never once blamed early Britons for wiping out the megafauna like they are quick to do with early Native Americans; god forbid they treat their arrival to Britain as anything but a triumph of humanity for which we should all be grateful for!
I'm unsure if there was any megafauna in Britain during the time for there to be wiped out.
Did pretty much wipe everything else out though, bears, wolves, pretty much anything with fur.
@@thehowlingjoker
The vid just said there was during the ice age!
Who's "they"
@@English_MoFo
The scientists!
Very interesting content, but absolutely terrible vocal performance. *Stop whispering.*
Stop the music while you're talking, totally unnecessary. Otherwise a good video.
I'll leave you alone... you tried! But one thing is clear... there's more than fish on the planet, dino birds probably where like our bird's today... eating everything!
*sigh* Another "there was nothing worthy of note in the UK islands before the arrival of the Roman empire" documentary.
