I don't care if i have to have a sorce or not, its stupid to delete just cause their is no source, What i post is the truth, You guys don't know a thing about this stuff.

Are their any sources even remotely suggesting that the following episodes will feature taxa with no seen CGI models like Rahonavis? If so, deleting shall begin if you allow me. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.103.78.31 ( talk) 19:26, 25 September 2011 (UTC)
Well, I think that says everything. They are guesses. And the main evidence I have comes from his dinosaur list for the second episode, a whole week before it aired. Comparing the two lists, he claimed that Alectrosaurus and Therizinosaurus were in that episode, even though they weren't, and he failed to guess that Sinraptor and Jeholosaurus were in it, even though they were. He claims he knows, but when he can't get his lists right, it's obvious, to me, that he is guessing. Therefore, his edits are not of any warrant. 85.210.176.48 ( talk) 23:16, 25 September 2011 (UTC)
The write-ups for each episode seem to be largely copyed and pasted from the BBC website. I think some proper write-ups as to what happens in each episode would be better, personally. 85.210.180.183 ( talk) 09:43, 29 September 2011 (UTC)
In the article (Episode 3: "Last Killers"), I think quoted from the TV series, It says that the cretaceous ended 75 million years ago, when it actually ended 65 million years ago.
If you can find a source for this claim, then by all means add it. -- 24.36.130.109 ( talk) 21:15, 1 January 2013 (UTC)
I know have evidence for such creatures appearing in the tv series. I would like it if you would go onto each link and take a look at the website it links to, and look very carefully, so that you can believe me and stop deleating the work people have had a long time doing. So, here are the creatures, episodes they appear in, and the links i found evidence for:
Paralititan - New Giants -
[1]
Sarcosuchus - New Giants -.
[2].
[1] Also, the images in the unofficial trailer and the launch trailer feature shots of the Sarcosuchus that weren't shown in the broadcast, and, to add to that, Sarcosuchus didn't live in South America, as depicted in Chased by Dinosaurs, but only in North Africa.
Skorpiovenator - New Giants -.
[1].
[1]
Carcharodontosaurus - New Giants -.
[2] Now, there is a video on Youtube, called Planet Dinosaur, (just that), and it has footage of
Hatzegopteryx eating a sauropod. The only sauropod I know that lives on a dwarf island is
Magyarosaurus or
Europeasaurus (not sure if that's correct). Also, there is some pictures of Gigantoraptor batteling
Alectrosaurus, which hasn't appeared yet, but since the next episode is on the Jurassic and the episode after that is about Mapusaurus and Sarcosuchus, it probably will appear in the last episode, along with the unidentified tyrannosaurids and therizinosaurids. This is from a link that's already on this page! It is the CGSociety. Anyways, check them out, and please approve. I don't want to have an argument. There are so many links that you haven't discovered yet. Oh, one last thing, the link for the Alectrosaurus vs. Gigantoraptor photo (not clip) is at.
[3] Check it out, and please be nice, no more FAIL or SUCK AT GUESSING, just regular talk, like this.

This series has been marked as part of the Walking with... series. I can't see any evidence for that. It's made by "Jellyfish Pictures", a new company, not Impossible Pictures. So I have removed those links.
Also, the number of episodes is the number that have actually aired, not how many are planned. Barsoomian ( talk) 03:02, 1 October 2011 (UTC)
The DNA connection between WWD, WWB and planet Dino is that they were made through the same department at the BBC (science). Crew-wise Nigel Paterson is the only connection. He directed 3 of the WWB series (won Emmy) and is director and producer of Planet Dino series... A BBC website of the prog has clips where production memebers talk about how PD was designed to differ from WWD. So I guess same stable and similar but distinct animals.... — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.181.61.67 ( talk) 20:25, 3 October 2011 (UTC)
The BBC book of this series has some animals depicted and listed which are not in this article, which I believe is a legitimate source. Here are the ones in the book:
EPISODE FIVE: THE NEW GIANTS -Skorpiovenator bustingorryi -Argentinosaurus huinculensis -Unidentified hypsiliphodont (perhaps Notohypsilophodon comodorensis or Gasparinisaura cincosaltensis) -Paralititan stromeri -Sarcosuchus imperator (a more detailed study than in episode one) -Carcharodontosaurus saharicus -Mapusaurus roseae
EPISODE SIX: THE GREAT SURVIVORS -Gigantoraptor erlianensis -Alectrosaurus olseni, identified as 'alectrosaur' -Magyrosaurus dacus -Nothronychus graffami -Some species of Zuni Basin tyrannosaur, most probably the 'Zuni-tyrannus' mentioned above
In addition to this, the book identifies the unidentified oviraptorid in the second episode (Feathered Dragons) as Oviraptor philoceratops, so perhaps a compromise such as:
-Unidentified oviraptorid (identified in the BBC book of the series as Oviraptor philoceratops)
could be met. On a side note, the chapters that cover each of the episode are in a different order and some have slightly or rather more drastically different names, but cover the same species and subject matter. If these are relevant, please feel free to include them: 1: The New Giants - Episode 5: The New Giants 2: The Lost World - Episode 1: Lost World 3: The New Killers - Episode 3: Last Killers 4: Born Survivors - Episode 4: Fight for Life 5: Taking Flight - Episode 2: Feathered Dragons 6: Change or Die - Episode 6: The Great Survivors
I was wondering if any of these changes (perhaps not the chapter names, although they are mentioned in articles about similar shows, e.g Walking With Beasts) could be granted and that everyone would be fine with that :) 86.138.35.215 ( talk) 18:08, 6 October 2011 (UTC)

{{edit semi-protected}} Please change the writing credit from 'Nigel Paterson' to 'Nigel Paterson and Tom Brass' because Tom Brass is credited as Writer on three episodes in the series.

Further to the above: IMDB is not a reliable source, see WP:IMDB. Credits could be an RS, if it is available to be verified (e.g. on DVD, or whatever). If you can show reliable sources for the edit, please re-request. Chzz ► 00:20, 14 October 2011 (UTC)
I formatted the list of episodes using Template:Episode list but one editor keeps removing that and making it into a series of headings. I can see no reason why using the template designed specifically for this purpose is in any way inappropriate. The headings can be customised to suit. I added a column for "Era" to indicate the period the episode covers, for instance. Barsoomian ( talk) 03:08, 16 October 2011 (UTC)
I think we should put the dinosaurs in the order in which they appeared. MisirWorld3000 ( talk) 03:30, 18 October 2011 (UTC)
Is it just my browser, or is the episode table on this article poorly formatted? Some of the table itself seems to covered by the infobox, while the text from the covered section covers the infobox. Chris ( talk) 19:16, 19 October 2011 (UTC)
At one point in episode 6, the previously unidentified Oviraptorids are called Oviraptors. Whether this means that the animal is Oviraptor, or this is just a shortening of Oviraptorids, is unclear, but since the book also calls it Oviraptor, I think we should assume that that is indeed the species this dinosaur belongs to. Frazthespaz ( talk) 00:11, 20 October 2011 (UTC)
Shouldn't there be an inaccuracy content? Like how it was proven wrong that sinoraptor was venomous or how it should the centrosaurus died in a title wave and not eaten by crocodiles or floating debris, or how the argentinosaurus look like the brontosaurus from king kong. Aslan10000 ( talk) 00:11. 20 October 2011 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 50.53.73.132 ( talk)
Does this count as an inaccuracy? The only case i can think of is the Chaoyangopterid model in episode 5 being the same for the pterosaurs in episodes 1, 4 and 6. Frazthespaz ( talk) 01:11, 21 October 2011 (UTC)
FraztheSpaz is wrong, the Hatzegopteryx in episode 6 is clearly a different pterosaur model. Visokor ( talk) 18:39, 21 October 2011 (UTC)
On another note; the Saurornithoides and Troodon look alike because the programme clearly states the former is a member of the Troodon family. Bradycneme looks the same too, though I'm not sure whether or not Bradycneme was also a member of the Troodon family. Visokor ( talk) 11:45, 22 October 2011 (UTC)
It's now thought of as an alvarezsaurid — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.130.59.229 ( talk) 18:29, 16 August 2012 (UTC)
I got in a (small) argument with someone over the appearence of something similar to Mapusaurus, but so different at the same time on Youtube. It showed in the first part of the Patagonian adventure, (before the croc sequence) the foot of a creature (maybe Mapusaurus), but they said the bones belong to an animal bigger than T-Rex, and Mapusaurus wasn't bigger than T-Rex, in fact, the show says it was, 10 metres long and 4 tonnes. That size matches Giganotosaurus. The CGI model for this creature looks similar to Mapusaurus, but its bulkier, and theirs no blue on its face. Clearly, for me, this is evidence that this creature is Giganotosaurus. Anybody feel free to comment on it, i want to know and maybe add it on the creatures list. — Preceding unsigned comment added by MisirWorld3000 ( talk • contribs) 23:11, 24 October 2011 (UTC)
Correct me if i'm wrong, but its now half way through 2012 and i can't remember a 3D episode being aired. Is it worth removing the link? Frogkermit ( talk) 19:01, 6 August 2012 (UTC)
Does anyone else think that the fight between the Spinosaurus and the Carcharodontosaurus in ep 1 references Jurassic Park III? Visokor ( talk) 15:05, 2 March 2014 (UTC)
Should we mention Deadly Dinosaurs here? It uses footage from Planet Dinosaur... Visokor ( talk) 12:05, 3 August 2018 (UTC)
So Planet Dinosaur was entirely animated with no live action shots at all, unlike a majority of other dinosaur-related documentaries. It also definitely was not made for kids, considering the gore, sexual, and mature themes of the show. Would it count as "adult animation" or just general "animation", or would it not matter either way? 73.240.105.138 ( talk) 05:20, 31 December 2019 (UTC)
