And our own Jim Farlow! Tom Holtz also had a credit at the end. . .

As has been said previously, it's an Americanized version of "The Truth
About Killer Dinosaurs." I have to say that for all the oddities of Bill
Oddie, whoever narrated the Discovery Channel version was even more odd. We
snickered through such phrases as "biochemical twin of T. rex" and the
highly scientific "bite-o-meter." (Was it really too much to use the word
"force plate"?)
