Thanks to
Grant Friel for pointing out
that the sound is presented in Dolby Stereo (Dolby Digital 2.0) (not Dolby
Surround) and comes across perfectly too. You will come across the occasional
surround-sound moment, but these are unintentional. Narration is clear and
the dinosaurs' roars are very loud indeed.
Extras :
Chapters :
6 chapters to an episode, making 36 in total which is fine.
Languages & Subtitles :
Dolby Stereo in English only, plus subtitles for the same.
And there's more... :
Presented in stylish silver, the Booklet includes descriptions of the
main creatures studied and plenty of background info about the series.
A 50-minute Making Of programme comes on disc 2 and does exactly what
it says on the tin, but the series itself also features Picture-in-Picture sequences
with commentary about how certain parts of the show were put together. These are meant
to be optional, but on my Creative Dxr2 DVD-ROM player they're mandatory, which is
rather a pain as I'd like to switch them off to see what they're obscuring.
Menu :
Brilliantly colourful and animated with dinos hopping about on the main menu.
Overall :
Definitely an impressive series, the only thing that takes the shine off the CGI effects
is that we've seen what a dinosaur looks like from Jurassic Park, when the
same thing was jaw-dropping. However, there's still plenty that can be learned and
it does look superb throughout.
Note that from August 2000, the BBC are running a new series, Living with Dinosaurs,
presented by David Attenborough.
