A groundbreaking BBC programme from the 1990s is returning to the big screen after a 25-year absence.
The hit record-breaking series Walking With Dinosaurs is finally making a comeback in 2025.
The six-part series explores the world of dinosaurs with impressive computer-generated images and animatronics.
Walking With Dinosaurs cost £37,654 per minute to produce, as the techniques were inspired by the hit film Jurassic Park.
The first episode in 1999 attracted a whopping 15 million viewers, making it the most watched science program on television in the 20th century.

The British television program won two BAFTAs and three Emmy Awards for its success.
The new series will take fans on a “unique journey back in time, revealing the incredible life stories of these long-lost giants.”
The program focuses on dinosaurs whose “remains are currently being excavated by the world’s best dinosaur hunters.”
Jack Bootle, Head of Commissioning at the BBC, Specialist Factual, said: ‘A whole new generation of viewers are going to fall in love with Walking With Dinosaurs.
‘The original series was one of the most exciting factual series of all time, and this reinvention builds on that great legacy.
‘Each episode is based on the latest scientific insights, but is also full of drama. This makes this a series for both dinosaur lovers and people who just want to hear a great story.’
Andrew Cohen, head of BBC Studios Science Unit, added: ‘It’s the ultimate dinosaur show, where one minute you’re sitting behind the sofa and the next your imagination is blown away.
The prehistoric world meets high-quality documentary production like never before.

There is also another show returning to the BBC broadcaster, but viewers in the UK will have to wait a little longer for new episodes.
The sector has captivated fans with its insider insight into the black box of finance, as a group of young bankers are thrown into the pressure cooker and the London office of international bank Pierpoint & Co becomes overrun with sex and drugs.
On August 11, the third season premiered on HBO for viewers in the US, but the series has yet to return to the UK, almost two years after the second season ended.
The series is expected to be released on BBC One and iPlayer later this year.
