A one-shot 2011 BBC TV Documentary about the history of Dinosaur Media. Discusses several stock tropes present in dino-movies, and reflects on their cultural importance in a lighthearted, tongue-in-cheek way.Thoroughly talks about: Gertie the Dinosaur The Lost World King Kong (1933) and its remake Godzilla movies Gorgo One Million Years B.C. The Beast from 20,000 Fathoms The Valley of Gwangi Jurassic Park and sequelsAdvertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })… and also features a stock of other, often pretty obscure productions.

Prehistoria: The "inventive" new setting that dethroned the Lost World, but brought about a gigantic Anachronism Stew. Again, the cave-women made audiences gloss over this.

Computer-Generated Images: The latest method of bringing dinosaurs and other monsters to life. The program also has a brief Take That! moment at it, or more specifically at the '05 King Kong Remake, saying that the movie suffered from an overdose of over-the-top CGI scenes.

Cultural Translation: Gojira's brash, American recut. Also the later 1998 remake.

Family-Unfriendly Death: The T. rex's defeat at the hands of King Kong. Some of the Talking Heads found it too disturbing.

People in Rubber Suits: Godzilla, Gorgo, and tons of other, forgettable monsters the Narrator just calls "Crapasauruses".
