This episode features Baryonyx depicted wandering the halls of the British Natural History Museum before going fishing in the Thames, along with the very first ever dinosaur to be named, Megalosaurus, as it rampages through the streets of Oxford. It then depicts the large herbivorous Iguanodon feeding among the anchronistic statues of itself at Crystal Palace, and Nuthetes, a relative of the famous Velociraptor, hunting and causing mischief in and around Stonehenge, as well as the armoured Scelidosaurus.

They meet paleontologist Darren Naish, who shows evidence for a fight between two dinosaurs, Mantellisaurus and Neovenator, and they meet Proceratosaurus, an ancestor to T. rex, as well as Dacentrurus. The episode concludes with a recent discovery that has yet to be named (now called Dracoraptor).
