The BBC realised that it would take no less an individual than David
Attenborough to make fossils seem interesting. In the video Lost Worlds,
Vanished Lives (BBC, 拢19.99, 158 minutes), Attenborough takes dull
palaeontology and breathes life into it. Dinosaurs walk, trilobites shuffle and
mammoths charge. With the full weight of the BBC’s production values and a huge
budget, you can see why it was a big TV hit in 1989. And Attenborough is truly
inimitable.
