Horrifyingly, it is not

Surely got to have some Ozzy / Sabbath on the playlist

The notion that the British Isles naturally don't have much wildlife compared to the rest of the world is weirdly pervasive. I've met members of the public while working at outreach events who were genuinely surprised to find out the UK had dinosaurs & ice age megafauna

If it's not called Kane & Bagel they're wasting their time

Related: The Smilodon is an absolute monster. It also comes with the revelation that the sabretooth we've been seeing in the promo material is an African taxon, so Megantereon perhaps? Very impressed with the Sabretooth diversity on show

I'll be there 😁

Home city show! Very exciting 😁

It would be more foolish to refuse solid new results based on feelings

Early Pleistocene is super exciting, lots of animals that are familiar but exotic enough to be Tolkien wildlife

The crossword has 'giant otter' as one if it's answers. There's also an episode description which talks about it coming out of the water due to drought

It looks like the series is covering every stage of the pleistocene, so there's a whole bunch of older, more exotic taxa that are totally up for being featured. I'm holding out hope for late surviving chalicotheres
