Last Days of the Dinosaurs
Discovery HD
Sunday 12 February, 21.00
Dinosaurs ruled the earth for 150 million years. They walked where we walk, drank the same water and breathed the same air. But then they were gone. Their disappearance is one of the planet's greatest mysteries. Until now. Combining the latest science, geology and palaeontology, Last Days Of The Dinosaurs illustrates what scientists now believe was the reason for their extinction. Although the famous meteorite is credited with having wiped out the dinosaurs, in fact it was just the final nail in their coffin. Millions of years before it, global climate change transformed their world into a living hell. With ground-breaking animation, this special reconstructs the dinosaur world of the late Cretaceous period, and re-imagines the colossal fireballs, devastating blast-waves, giant earthquakes and mega tsunamis that changed life on the planet forever, ultimately setting the stage for the next species to rule the earth - us.
Big Cat Week

The beauty of big cats has long captivated our imaginations, yet these majestic predators now face a battle to survive. With Africa's lion population suffering a decline of over 90% in the last 50 years, cheetahs disappearing from over 75% of their range and the fact that there are now more tigers living in captivity than in the wild, there is a very real problem. In a second annual week of programming dedicated to these fantastic felines, featuring UK premieres and never-before-filmed behaviour in the wild, we follow cheetahs, look at lions and put pumas under the microscope.
