[HD] Lost Media: BBC’s Walking with Dinosaurs (1999) full pilot episode 

So who's hear after hearing about BBC making a revival of the walking with series?

This feels surreal watching it finally that the thing has been found. Thank you.

Incredible how such small projects develop into the most successful prehistoric documentaries in television history. Thank you so much for uploading, this personally means a lot to me and other people who grew up watching the original series.

i kinda like the Eustreptospondylus design better here than in the actual show, in they show they gave it and allosaurus that weird short snout for some reason

This was absolutely incredible. I can see some of the things in this plot that were incorporated into cruel sea. Especially with a Liopleurdon getting beached and dying and becoming food for the Eustreptospondylus

It’s captivating I can see how they got the approval of the massive budget required for this.

We’re is MY CETIOSAUR

That was the pilot also that Eustreptospondylus look like vintage Dinosaur toy with pterosaur scaphognathus and a Sauropod Cetiosaurus was cut and Cryptoclidus and Liopluerodon on the hunt part and i love this pilot

I found out late about the existence of a lost media (I learned about the existence of the pilot in 2021) of this program that marked my childhood, it is gratifying to finally see in full what started this great BBC saga

I can rest now

Wow, thanks! It turns out that I had already seen the scene with the swimming Liopleurodon in episode 7, where the making of the series was shown. Well, Heines showed us an enormous Liopleurodon ferox as early as in 1996 so it is actually the Aramberri Monster which was identified as L. ferox back then. The time period is the very end of the Tithonian age of the Jurassic which is also close to the time when the Aramberri Monster existed. However, the Mexican pliosaur probably lived in the Early Cretaceous. As we can see on the stratigraphic chart of 1996, the beginning of the Cretaceous had been calculating as 130 Ma then. It is noteworthy that marine crocodiles are mentioned here, that is, we could have seen a Metriorhynchus as early as in 1999. I also like the shots with the footprints. It's a shame we didn't see them in the final version.

Amazing ! Just Amazing ! AND almost 1 year coincidentaly apart before the return of the franchise in 2025 ! This piece of media should have been released since the initial broadcast of the 1999 series. It's really weird and mysterious why BBC did not even let people watch it. Because it's an extremely important paleomedia, give it's the roots themselves of one of the greatiestad most important paleomedia in Human History ! I don't know how even you managed to get you hands on, but man ! glad you was able to and let it finally be public for anyone interested to see it ! Especially any WWD fans ! Thank you very much.

I wish someone could make a cut of the pilot including the pilot scenes from the Trilogy of Life which strangely aren't present here

Episode 03: The Cruel Sea

The CGI is really good for its time

Finally we can watch it. Thank you.

lol i knew i wasn't dreaming i think saw this one as a child and forgot

I saw this animatronic at Oxford Museum. It's a lot smaller than they make out in this pilot

Thank you for uploading this! Its an important piece of paleomedia history and should be seen by all fans of WWD. I wonder who this narrator is?

found this less then half a day after i saw the big news. WALKING WITH DINOSAURS IS COMING BACK

Finally . I’ve been looking for this for years.

I remember (barely) seeing one mention in a forum like 10 years ago about there being a lost pilot episode for WWD. I never believed it and thought that even if it did exist, it'd look terrible. I'm astounded at the effort they put into a simple pilot for a show that they didn't even know whether or not they'd be able to fully produce. I've always loved WWD and was extremely happy when I saw they're remaking it in 2025. I'm impressed you managed to find this. If you don't mind me asking, how did you find it? I'm chronically online and as I said earlier I've only seen 1 mention of it 10 years ago.

Can't thank you enough for sharing 😊 lovely series, the serene feel and naturalism are unmatched and unseen in any other dinosaurs documentary of it's kind since, i only got that atmophere from older 70s and 80s wildlife docs also by BBC.

I hope one day we`ll also get Walking with cavemen Nigel Marven`s version

This looks great...though it was a shame that the Cetiosaurus and Eustreptospondylus didn't enough screen time to shine like the marine reptiles did.

Nice to see this posted!!

Thanks for posting this for us fans, was lowkey jealous of Dino Diego when he made his video on this and didn't share it (understandable though)

This just morphed into episode 3

I appreciate you finding this

His weight alone would be 150 tons: thee-hundred-thousand-pounds; nothing, not even a blue whale, has such body-mass, and his length was at least *85 feet long*, thus guy's *huge*, but also, in that environment, completely defenseless as he's fully out of his environment, since he cannot move, he cannot escape nor feasibly defend himself against aggression, and since animals are basically atheistic: anybody who *can* take material advantage of him is sure to do just exactly that. His skull alone was also 16 feet long!

I wonder if they had that same closeup animatronic for the Liopleurodon used in the final show, but with a different color scheme.

IS THAT JEREMY CLARKSON VOICE?

thank you

I didn't imagine the pilot episode was a lost media

I hear Walking with Dinosaurs is getting a second season from the 1999 series in 2025. I can't wait!

Strepto looks like a 70s invicta megalosaurus with the neck and head. I think i approve

Do you know if the soundtrack for the new WWD will be make by Ben Bartlett ? I really hope

WALKING WITH DINOSAURS IS GETTING A REMAKE!

I wish we could watch this without the text on top of the video.

I love all the old walking with dinosaur is so good is amazing love the work 👍👍👍👍👌👌👌👌👌👌🍻❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🦖🦕❤️❤️❤️❤️🍻😎

What a pleasant surprise

This is a dream come true !

This is a canceled episode, if I'm not mistaken it was replaced by episode three that we know. I wouldn't delete it, I would make a special episode with more content. In fact, if it were up to me, the trilogy of life wouldn't be a trilogy, it would be a single documentary that would have many episodes, and most of it would take place before the Phanerozoic

Is it just me, or is that opening soundtrack from The Private Life of Plants?

So that's how a proof of concept should look like. 🤔 I see. Well, time to get to the drawing board.

Is that Tony Jay narrating?

Nuts that I'm watching this.

Can you do prehistoric planet season 2

Wait ? It was really a walking with dinosaurs clip ? Or just a fan rearrangement ? Someone can explain please, I am confused ?

Wha wi what, how, how did you find this!

Was there also footage of cetiosaurs and a eustreptospondylus stalking the woods?

WHERE DID YOU FIND THIS??!!!!

How you found it? 😮

2025 here we go babyyyyyy

I forgot what species of pterosaur was in it considering they don’t mention them by name

Thanks for this upload! I'm a guy but will you marry me?

Real!?!?
