BBC Dinos 24/7

Alice ventures to the parts of the Northern Hemisphere, hit the hardest by the cold - Europe and Siberia. High in the mountains of Transylvania, a cave sealed for thousands of years reveals grisly evidence for a fight to the death between two starving giants, a cave bear and a cave lion. Yet Alice discovers that for woolly rhinos and woolly mammoths, the Ice Age created a bounty.

Even after thousands of years of ice crushing the Northern Hemisphere and temperatures of 20 degrees lower than those of today, many of the great giants of the Ice Age still walked the earth. It was only when the world had warmed up again that mammoths, woolly rhinos, sabre-toothed cats and giant ground sloths finally became extinct. Professor Alice Roberts sets off on her last voyage back to the

Chris Packham is out to determine whether the Himalayan Yeti and the Sumatran Orang Pendek exist.

Chris Packham embarks on a mission to investigate the existence of the mythical giant squid.

Chris Packham searches for clues related to the existence of the Loch Ness Monster in Scotland. He also visits Australia to learn about a giant lizard called Megalania.

Chris Packham sets out in search of stories about Bigfoot, a mythical ape-like creature that has been the focus of many fiction novels, movies and documentaries over the years.

Chris Packham explores the English countryside to learn about mythical big cats such as the Beast of Bodmin and Beast of Exmoor.

Chris Packham investigates whether the thylacine, aka Tasmanian tiger or Tasmanian wolf, has truly gone extinct. The species lived in Australia and Tasmania.

A journey to discover the legendary lost city of Piramesse, a magnificent ancient capital built 3,000 years ago by the Egyptian pharaoh Ramesses the Great. When it was finally rediscovered by early archaeologists, it opened up a bizarre puzzle because it was in the wrong place.

In the Lambayeque valley in northern Peru lies a strange lost world, the forgotten ruins of 250 mysterious pyramids, including some of the biggest on the planet, colossal structures made out of mud bricks.

This is the story of the formidable Hittites and their long-lost capital, Hattusha, which has recently been rediscovered. Buried in this lost city is one of the greatest libraries of the ancient world, and all the secrets of this mysterious civilisation were written in two codes - one a unique form of hieroglyphs with which we can recreate the lost world of the Hittites.

A look at extraordinary animals around the world, emphasising their unpredictable behaviour.

Fossil remains serve as clues in discovering how prehistoric flying creatures lived.

Anatomist Professor Alice Roberts and biologist Dr George McGavin go on an extraordinary evolutionary journey to meet our ancient ancestors. They start with our closest prehistoric relative - a Neanderthal. To make the reconstructions as accurate as possible Alice and George have travelled the globe, gathering evidence from the world's leading scientists.

The team go back 1.5 million years to meet one of the earliest humans, Homo erectus. They walked the earth far longer than any other human species and were the first ancestors to look a lot like we do today. The team reveal the latest research that suggests Homo erectus were good hunters, were skilled at making stone tools and could probably control fire.

The team looks at probably the most famous of all our early ancestors. She is called Lucy from the species Australopithecus afarensis, and she lived 3.2 million years ago. Lucy's species had traded life in the trees for life on the ground, but this ability to routinely walk upright came at a price, and it is one we are still paying today.

A look at the world as it was 149 million years ago - in the late Jurassic Period. The old continents have broken up and much of the land is under water. Huge shallow seas have supported a revolution in marine life.

A mind-expanding trip back through time to look at how the skies of 127 million years ago were dominated by huge flying reptiles, some as large as aeroplanes. The programme also follows the extraordinary journey of the pterosaur, which flew for thousands of miles in order to reach its breeding site. Narrated by Kenneth Branagh.

This programme looks at the Cretaceous period, 106 million years ago. Volcanic activity forces the continents apart, and dinosaurs diversify into a range of species to cope with environmental extremes. The landmass that will become Australia and Antarctica is in sunlight for half of the year, and in frozen darkness for the rest.

Looking at the closing chapters of the Cretaceous period, 65 million years ago, when the world is poisoned by massive volcanic activity. Among the fields of burning ash, the dinosaurs struggle for survival, oblivious to the Earth's impending collision with a giant comet.

Dan meets the mummies of Tutankhamun's parents at the Egyptian Museum in Cairo, and discovers that they were actually brother and sister. CT scans reveal how this incestuous relationship could have been responsible for Tutankhamun's poor health. Raksha heads underground to a rare tomb excavation in the Valley of the Kings which has never been seen before on television.

Picking up the story in 1323BC, the pharaoh sustains the injury that would eventually kill him. On a scan of Tutankhamun's skeleton, Dan sees a break to his thigh bone which could have been a battle injury. John visits Howard Carter's house and probes the 1920s craze of `Tutmania', when the Western world went crazy for all things Egyptian.

Dan discovers a series of curious anomalies in Tutankhamun's burial, and spots that the faces on his coffins and canopic jars do not match that of the famous golden mask. Raksha looks at Seti's tomb, which shows how low quality and hurried Tutankhamun's was in comparison. John learns how to dance like an Egyptian at a funeral, and investigates the truth of the `Curse of Tutankhamun'.
