Planet of Life

["Richard Hengst" <rhengst@163.245.1.5>]

I was watching the episode of Planet of Life in which Cambrian Burgess Shale 
creatures are animated and life evolves onto land.  This was well done for the 
general public and I hope more of this quality hits the air.  The previews hint 
that next Monday (8:00 Central) and Late Tues (12:00 or 1:00 AM) that Dinos are 
the topic.  I have seen the NHK film crews in action and they are very thorough 
and make every attempt at accuracy.  I am curious to know if this upcoming 
episode includes NHK's footage from the TV special that aired in Japan earlier 
this year that discussed Mamenchisaurus.  Does anyone know about the 
particulars?
