PREHISTORIC PREMIERE
From Sunday, 1 May at 18:30
‘Prehistoric’ takes viewers on a fascinating journey back in time to see what stood, lived, fought and died hundreds, thousands and even millions of years ago. Observe the lush green land prowled by woolly mammoths and saber-toothed tigers, and rewind to the age of dinosaurs, where pterodactyls circled the skies in search of their prehistoric prey. Focusing on America, this mind-blowing series includes an investigation into the high-rises and sprawl of modern Los Angeles reverting back to farmland, settlements and deserts. While many know that ferocious dinosaurs and large mammals once roamed America, few of us realise that they walk in the footsteps of these extinct animals every day. Discover more about the fascinating beasts that once dominated the Earth and see these creatures stalk the exact sites where major cities and famous landmarks now stand.

Ever wanted to go back and thank someone - a parent, a teacher or a friend? Heart-warming new series ‘Lost & Found with Mike & Jesse’ follows the intrepid “professional finders” who help people do just that.

Mike and Jesse leave no stone unturned as they take their expertise on the road to help people across America find a lost or special personal item. From reuniting an 89-year old WWII veteran with a cherished lost relic to finding a treasured family heirloom for a foster parent as a thank you from his children, they go to extreme lengths to help families show gratitude, provide closure, and bring back cherished memories.
