Most of the creatures that have ever lived no longer exist

This six-part detective story uncovers the mystery surrounding the life and eventual demise of six phenominal species and using state of the art CGI, brings them back to astonishing televisual life.



The clues they left behind are few, and it now seems that the generally accepted theories they spawned aren't quite as rock solid as we thought they were. Turning long-standing scientific theories on their heads, each programme uses an enthralling mix of live action, state of the art computer graphics, animatronics, dramatic scenery and astonishing scientific fact.



Dramatic and compelling viewing, this science action-adventure will be filmed on location all over the world. From the tar pits of La Brea to the Tasmanian outback, from the Dodo's Mauritius to the Mammoth's icy home. If you have ever wondered about the living things who inhabited the earth long before we did, now is your chance to find out.



Extinct shows these astonishing species in action, reveals what they looked like, where they lived, how they behaved and how they died out.
