BBC One continues its landmark natural history run with Episode 5 of Walking With Dinosaurs, airing this Sunday 22 June at 6.25pm. Titled The Journey North, the episode follows a Pachyrhinosaurus herd across prehistoric Canada, anchoring the narrative through the survival stakes of a young dinosaur named Albie.
The story draws from a major fossil find in Alberta that revealed mass migration patterns in one of the largest herbivore groups of the Late Cretaceous. The episode reconstructs the journey in detail, using CG-led sequences backed by paleontological data, showing how the herd travelled hundreds of kilometres in search of food and safer breeding grounds.
This marks the fifth instalment of the six-part series, which has leaned on cinematic visuals and field-accurate reconstructions to differentiate itself from earlier dinosaur doc efforts. The BBC is aiming the show at a broad Sunday primetime audience, stacking it between factual and family-facing titles as part of its ongoing natural history strategy.
The final episode airs next week.
Walking With Dinosaurs continues Sunday 6.25pm on BBC One.
