Synopsis:
The creators of the Walking with Dinosaurs series that took the world by storm have returned to tell the story of Big Al.
A few years ago, an amazing fossil was unearthed in Wyoming USA. Not only were the bones they found those of a dinosaur that lived 145 million years ago, the skeleton of this creature was very nearly complete.

Now the scientists` find has been resurrected even more vividly as the BBC uses the same computer graphic and animatronic techniques as the original Walking with Dinosaurs series, to recreate Big Al`s life for the television screen.

In the first programme we follow him from his birth to his death - a 15-year story of a lone battle against formidable prey and voracious predators.

The second programme is a scientific detective story to trace the evidence of Big Al. Employing the same state of the art graphic effects, Big Al roams modern-day museums and dig sites where we see passionate scientists explaining the research behind his tale.
