+{{Main|Sea Monsters}}
-Nigel Marvin travels back in time with his film crew. He travels to a nearby lake, where the ''[[Argentinosaurus]]'' nest every year. There Nigel sees a juvenile ''Argentinosaurus'', where he is attacked by a ''[[Sarcosuchus]]''. Nigel then coaxes it out of the lake by splashing a stick in the water. The ''Sarcosuchus'' lies on the shore. Nigel attaches a video camera to his head and walks towards it, and demonstrates its biting power by pushing a stick into its mouth and having the ''Sarcosuchus'' bite down on it. Later Nigel climbs up the [[volcanic]] slopes to get a panoramic view of the area to see the ''Argentinosaurus'' herd. Instead he finds a herd of ''[[Iguanodon]]''. His search leads him all the way to the coast, where he views a colony of ''[[Pteranodon]]'' on the cliffs hunting fish. Nigel doesn't return to the campsite until night, where he finds that a large predator has attacked his tent, and left all the provisions littered across the surrounding ground. He finds a single [[theropod]] dinosaur tooth jammed in a can of meat. The next morning Nigel has set up an [[alarm]] system outside the camp so that if something breaks the [[Motion detection|laser tripwire]], a loud alarm will sound, alerting Nigel. Later he tracks down the [[predator]], where, around midday, Nigel hears a commotion further ahead. He finds a wounded ''Iguanodon'' in a rocky gully. He walks further upstream to find a smaller dead individual with a ''[[Giganotosaurus]]'' eating it. Later Nigel is shown flying over the ash-fields in an [[Ultralight aviation|ultralight]]. Soon he finds another ''Pteranodon'' flock. After breaking away he sees an ''[[Ornithocheirus]]'', one of the largest animals ever to fly. Soon Nigel discovers the ''Argentinosaurus'' herd far below, so he lands the ultra light nearby his [[jeep]]. He then drives off towards the herd and locates it without any trouble. After appreciating their gargantuan size, Nigel drives into a natural 'funnel', caused by a break in some trees. He then sets up some [[weighing scales]] designed for [[lorries]]. After several fruitless attempts, an ''Argentinosaurus'' steps on the scales, showing that it weighs 92.3 [[ton]]s, and Nigel explains that that's the same as 30 [[African elephants]]. The next morning Nigel is driving the jeep 20 miles away from the camp, and finds an ''Iguanodon'' that seems to be running away from him, but he realizes that it is actually escaping a ''Giganotosaurus'' that is chasing them both. Nigel narrowly escapes the predator only to meet up with the herd later in the morning to find an entire pack of ''Giganotosaurus'' mobbing the herd. By the afternoon the pack has singled out a youngster, and is inflicting wounds, waiting for her to bleed to death. The hunt continues for the rest of the day and into the night, when filming is no longer possible and Nigel must leave. The next morning, Nigel finds the herd at the nesting site beside the lake. While the females are laying their eggs Nigel comments on what a magical ending this is for his dinosaur safari. Suddenly a ''Sarcosuchus'' lunges at him out of the water. Nigel just escapes.
+''Sea Monsters'' was a sequel to this series broadcast later in 2003.

-Nigel searches the early [[Mongolia]] deserts and forests for ''[[Therizinosaurus]]'', who has massive and very long claws. Nigel's tent is immediately trampled by a ''[[Saurolophus]]'', but he still goes off for his adventure. On his journey, Nigel dashes across a nesting ground of ''[[Protoceratops]]'', and deflects them from attacking him by using a red flag. He enters a forest ruled by ''[[Velociraptor]]s'', and finds a pack of them bringing down a large male ''Protoceratops''. In the night, Nigel catches a scorpion and explains that they have been on the planet long before the dinosaurs, and are still alive today. He also finds a group of ''[[Mononykus]]'' and discovers they have feathers. The next morning he finds that the ''Mononykus'' have eaten his scorpion, and heads out of the denser parts of the forest. There he finds the nesting site of a ''Therizinosaurus'', along with the [[embryo]] of one, but also finds herbivore dung around the area. Nigel cannot understand why it is scattered around the nest of ''Therizinosaurus'' which he thinks must be a predator. He continues his journey, and a group of ''Mononykus'' run past him, but he finds out that they are actually running away from a ''[[Tarbosaurus]]'' that is nearby. He narrowly escapes the predator and decided to head to a freshwater lake to see if there are any sings of ''Therizinosaurus'' there. He finds an entire skeleton of one, and reassembles one of the arms. He speculates that ''Therizinosaurus'' used the claws for disemboweling prey, but he gets even more confused as he also finds herbivore teeth amongst the bones. Before Nigel can continue searching, he finds a pack of ''Velociraptors'' hunting him. He escapes them by driving them off with a fog horn, and hears some noises by the lake. There, he finds a ''Tarbosaurus'' coming down to drink, and while observing it, he finally finds a ''Therizinosaurus''. The two creatures fight each other, with the ''Tarbosaurus'' backing down after getting wounded by the huge claws of the ''Therizinosaurus''. After the ''Tarbosaurus'' leaves, Nigel is surprised as he finds a whole herd of ''Therizinosaurus'' browsing on the trees, which meant that ''Therizinosaurus'' is actually a [[Herbivore|plant-eater]] that uses its sickle-claws to drag leaves towards its mouth. Nigel attempts to touch one, and he does. He continues observing it using his camera, and at the end, the ''Therizinosaurus'' licks Nigel's camera, which makes him fall.
