Sea Monsters Trilogy
Sea Monsters: A Walking with Dinosaurs Trilogy is a 2003 three-part nature documentary television miniseries created by Impossible Pictures and produced by the BBC Studios Science Unit, the Discovery Channel, and ProSieben.
It is the second Walking with... programme to star Nigel Marven and the last special in the franchise to air.
The series, marketed as Chased by Sea Monsters in the United States, follows British wildlife presenter Nigel Marven as a "time-travelling zoologist" who travels to seven different periods in prehistory to dive in the "seven deadliest seas of all time" and encounter prehistoric marine creatures.
Marven travels on a 24-meter-long boat named The Ancient Mariner, using a time map to navigate the different eras, though the time-travel mechanism itself is never shown.
The series is narrated by Karen Hayley in the BBC version and by Christopher Cook in the American version.
It features a combination of computer-generated imagery and animatronics, incorporated into live-action footage shot at various locations, including New Zealand and Egypt.
The episodes explore diverse prehistoric marine environments, from the Triassic period to the Late Cretaceous, showcasing creatures such as Liopleurodon, Leedsichthys, Cymbospondylus, and Nothosaurus.
A notable scene involves Liopleurodons feeding on a massive Leedsichthys carcass in near-darkness.
The series has received a 7.9/10 rating on IMDb based on over 1,500 user reviews.
It was originally broadcast on BBC One in November 2003 and later aired on Discovery Channel in the US as Chased by Sea Monsters
