I don’t think there’s a railway station in Britain that (a) has a jukebox in it and (b) would leave one unattended if it did!

I love Nick’s face as Jenny chats up the train spotter!

What were the odds that, with all the forest to choose from, Team Cutter decided to dig in the exact spot where Valerie had buried her boyfriend’s body?

Why is Nick digging out the body on his own when the smilodon could come back at any time?

I know this is a show for kids to watch and so there’s never going to be anything particularly gory, but Nick tells the others that the body was practically torn in half. When we later see him dig out the man’s wallet, it looks like he has barely unearthed anything apart from the arm.

The smilodon is the most unrealistic creature they’ve had in this series. It looks like a cartoon. Was it the fur that the CGI people had a problem with?

Yes, it was the fur. It always is. Don't know why. Which is a shame, I think they were trying for a coat like an indian hunting dog, and it just didn't work. Mind you, "10000 BC" didn't do that well with a much bigger budget.

No, no, be fair. It was the fact that it was a WORKING juke box that made it unrealistic.
