Not strictly telly. But best value birthday present ever.

My parents gave 6yr old DS a copy of the BBC Walking with Dinosaurs CD. So far DS and 2 friends have watched it most of the day. DS#1 and his 12 yr old mates were glued to it yesterday afternoon. All 3 of my DC were watching it last night. Totally engrossed.

Have ordered Walking with Monsters too.

Perhistoric nightmares make excellent babysitters it seems

Oh yes I bought this for my DS for Christmas. He is very into dinosaurs and finds it endlessly fascinating

Walking with Cavemen good too. My ds knows all these off by heart!

We are going to see the Walking with Dino tour when its at Wembley. Can't wait!

Tour? Wow! DS would be beside himself

Is this too scary for a 4 year old?

I don't know. Iirc DS#2 was 4 when he first say it. Wasn't scared. But it depends on the child.

We've got this too. We got a box set with the Walking with Dinosaurs specials that Nigel Marven did. The graphics are so good it really does look and feel like he is with the dinosaurs. DS2 (4) loves those ones particularly. Neither of mine are scared by them, 6 and 4 by the way.

He doesnt scare easily but the last thing I want to do is give him nightmares!
