==== Specials (2000–20032000–2004) ====

{{Main|The Ballad of Big Al|Land of Giants / The Giant Claw}}The first special episode of ''Walking with Dinosaurs'' to be released was ''The Ballad of Big Al'' (2000). ''Big Al'' follows a single ''Allosaurus'' specimen nicknamed [[Allosaurus#"Big Al" and "Big Al II"|"Big Al"]] whose life story has been reconstructed based on a well-preserved fossil of the same name. The two later specials, ''The Giant Claw'' (2002) and ''Land of Giants'' (2003), star "time-travelling zoologist" Nigel Marven as he travels back in time to encounter and interact with prehistoric life.

Line 119:

{{Main|Walking with Cavemen}}''Walking with Cavemen'' follows ''Walking with Dinosaurs'' and ''Walking with Beasts'' in adopting the same nature documentary style, though this time involving presenter [[Robert Winston, Baron Winston|Robert Winston]]. ''Cavemen'' follows the story of human evolution through exploring key developments on the path from ''Australopithecus afarensis'' to modern humans. The programme often focuses on particular characters and their relationships to each other in order to be more accessible to viewers.

=== ''Sea Monsters'' (20032004) ===

{{Main|Sea Monsters (TV series)}}''Sea Monsters'' once again stars Nigel Marven as a "time-traveling zoologist" who this time travels to seven different periods of time in prehistory, diving in the "seven deadliest seas of all time" and encountering and interacting with the prehistoric creatures who inhabit them.
