In this episode, David Armsby's back and better than ever, Darren Naish's hair is slicker than ever, and Gemma interviews palaeobotanist and artist Julianne Kiely, who's here to save us all from painfully generic and/or inaccurate flora in palaeoart.

Episode 42 (insert Hitchhiker's Guide reference here) sees Marc, Natee and Gemma team up with Andrew Stück, the one and only Dino Dad, as we tackle surely one of the most divisive topics we have ever discussed on this show: the 2025 revival of Walking With Dinosaurs. Will it be a beloved classic like the original 1999 series, an embarassing turkey like the 2013 movie, or something in between? Are we as blown away as we were when we saw our first Diplodocus? Are we as menaced as we were by Liopleurodon? Are our heartstrings tugged as they were when we saw the last journey of Ornithocheirus? Are we as endeared as we were by Leallynasaura? What place is there for a Walking With Dinosaurs in this post-Prehistoric Planet world? Who skipped through the segments of modern-day palaeontology? Can Jim Kirkland save the day? And, most crucially of all: what did Andrew's children think? It's all here in today's action packed episode.   Show Notes At Chasmosaurs!
