Episode Description

Ever hunted for fossils on a beach and felt like you might actually find something? 

Rosie heads to the Isle of Wight to the scene of the most complete dinosaur discovery in the UK in a hundred years. 

She’s joined by Dr Jeremy Lockwood, part of the original dig team and now casually known as a “namer of dinosaurs,” as they retrace how this once‑buried giant came back into the light.
