Attenborough and the Giant Sea Monster Subtitles

At 00:00:09,280, Character said: DAVID ATTENBOROUGH: I'm on
the south coast of England

2
At 00:00:11,720, Character said: in what is known
as the Jurassic Coast.

3
At 00:00:16,080, Character said: 150 million years ago,

4
At 00:00:18,920, Character said: the land was ruled
by dinosaurs...

5
At 00:00:23,200, Character said: ...but the oceans
were dominated

6
At 00:00:25,560, Character said: by a mysterious sea monster.

7
At 00:00:35,720, Character said: Its remains are very rare,

8
At 00:00:38,560, Character said: but some have
just been discovered

9
At 00:00:41,240, Character said: in the cliffs behind me.

10
At 00:00:45,840, Character said: And now fossil experts
are working to unearth

11
At 00:00:49,600, Character said: this extraordinary find.

12
At 00:00:53,400, Character said: No-one's ever done this before,
ever!

13
At 00:00:55,400, Character said: Extracting a giant skull
halfway down a cliff face!

14
At 00:00:59,240, Character said: This colossal creature

15
At 00:01:01,640, Character said: is called a pliosaur.

16
At 00:01:06,440, Character said: But little is known
about these prehistoric giants.

17
At 00:01:11,520, Character said: What an extraordinary
and terrifying thing!

18
At 00:01:16,040, Character said: Together,
with a team of scientists,

19
At 00:01:18,480, Character said: we will use new technology

20
At 00:01:21,080, Character said: to discover more about
this enormous marine reptile.

21
At 00:01:26,680, Character said: I have no doubt that this pliosaur

22
At 00:01:29,680, Character said: was the T-rex of the seas.

23
At 00:01:32,360, Character said: Comparing it
with animals alive today...

24
At 00:01:36,920, Character said: ..we can deduce a great deal
about their sheer strength.

25
At 00:01:42,680, Character said: This pliosaur has a b***e force

26
At 00:01:44,800, Character said: that's about twice
the great white shark.

27
At 00:01:46,560, Character said: Well, that's unimaginable.

28
At 00:01:50,800, Character said: Could this be
the greatest Jurassic predator

29
At 00:01:54,640, Character said: that ever lived?

30
At 00:02:13,360, Character said: Britain has a wealth

31
At 00:02:16,080, Character said: of fossil sites,

32
At 00:02:17,600, Character said: but perhaps none
are quite so famous as this,

33
At 00:02:21,680, Character said: the Jurassic Coast.

34
At 00:02:30,920, Character said: I've been collecting fossils
since I was a boy,

35
At 00:02:35,640, Character said: and I haven't yet
g***t tired of it.

36
At 00:02:38,520, Character said: These days, you're supposed
to wear glasses for safety.

37
At 00:02:43,720, Character said: And, if you would know a locality,

38
At 00:02:46,520, Character said: you would begin to recognise
the sort of block

39
At 00:02:50,000, Character said: that might contain a fossil.

40
At 00:02:51,960, Character said: And this rock was split earlier

41
At 00:02:54,480, Character said: to make it easier to show you.

42
At 00:02:57,040, Character said: And if I can...

43
At 00:02:59,280, Character said: ..hit it quite hard about there...

44
At 00:03:08,800, Character said: HE LAUGHS

45
At 00:03:10,640, Character said: What about that?

46
At 00:03:13,560, Character said: Is anything more beautiful
than that?

47
At 00:03:16,720, Character said: Fantastic.

48
At 00:03:18,720, Character said: Finding even the smallest fossil

49
At 00:03:20,640, Character said: is a thrill, but discovering
something much larger

50
At 00:03:24,280, Character said: can be an unforgettable moment.

51
At 00:03:27,520, Character said: And that is exactly what happened

52
At 00:03:29,560, Character said: to a fossil enthusiast,

53
At 00:03:31,320, Character said: who was walking along a beach

54
At 00:03:32,960, Character said: near Kimmeridge Bay
in Dorset one morning.

55
At 00:03:36,800, Character said: I just found
something quite extraordinary -

56
At 00:03:39,680, Character said: it's the jaw of a massive pliosaur.

57
At 00:03:45,200, Character said: It's enormous.

58
At 00:03:46,880, Character said: It's a massive pliosaur.

59
At 00:03:48,640, Character said: It's the best fossil
I've ever found.

60
At 00:03:52,360, Character said: It must have just come out
of the cliff up there somewhere.

61
At 00:03:56,840, Character said: Renowned fossil expert
Steve Etches was called in,

62
At 00:04:00,840, Character said: and he realised immediately

63
At 00:04:02,720, Character said: that this find could be
hugely significant.

64
At 00:04:05,480, Character said: Look! Look at those teeth.

65
At 00:04:08,240, Character said: There's a tooth there - look.

66
At 00:04:10,080, Character said: Let's have a look at the front.

67
At 00:04:11,560, Character said: You can walk along here
for hundreds of times

68
At 00:04:13,960, Character said: and not find anything,

69
At 00:04:15,480, Character said: and then, occasionally,
you'll hit the jackpot.

70
At 00:04:18,760, Character said: And this certainly is the jackpot.

71
At 00:04:23,480, Character said: It's the snout
of an enormous pliosaur skull.

72
At 00:04:28,800, Character said: And Steve suspects
that the rest of the head

73
At 00:04:31,720, Character said: might still be embedded
in the cliff above.

74
At 00:04:37,200, Character said: But he needs to work fast

75
At 00:04:39,240, Character said: before the whole thing tumbles
into the sea

76
At 00:04:42,120, Character said: and is lost for ever.

77
At 00:04:44,680, Character said: So he quickly gathers
a team of experts,

78
At 00:04:47,560, Character said: including fellow fossil-hunter
Chris Moore.

79
At 00:04:52,800, Character said: It's day one of the dig.

80
At 00:04:54,600, Character said: Steve and a team of diggers
are up on the cliffs.

81
At 00:04:58,600, Character said: They're putting a net down
to stop any loose rock

82
At 00:05:02,520, Character said: rolling down and hitting us,

83
At 00:05:04,120, Character said: and then we'll go down
and expose the skull.

84
At 00:05:07,280, Character said: DRILL WHIRS

85
At 00:05:09,200, Character said: Steve and Chris have worked
together for decades.

86
At 00:05:14,240, Character said: But this is the biggest challenge

87
At 00:05:16,520, Character said: they have ever faced.

88
At 00:05:25,440, Character said: The location of the skull,

89
At 00:05:27,320, Character said: high up
on a disintegrating cliff face,

90
At 00:05:30,160, Character said: makes it very difficult to reach

91
At 00:05:32,320, Character said: and even harder to work on.

92
At 00:05:39,520, Character said: These rocks were once mud
on the seafloor...

93
At 00:05:46,360, Character said: ..in which the remains
of prehistoric marine creatures

94
At 00:05:49,200, Character said: were buried.

95
At 00:05:52,720, Character said: Over millions of years,
the continents shifted,

96
At 00:05:57,000, Character said: the seas receded,

97
At 00:06:00,120, Character said: and today, as these cliffs erode,

98
At 00:06:03,240, Character said: fossilised skeletons are revealed.

99
At 00:06:07,480, Character said: The jaw is there, and the idea

100
At 00:06:09,520, Character said: is to actually cut this down
vertically,

101
At 00:06:11,920, Character said: and then we form a platform
where the fossil is.

102
At 00:06:19,520, Character said: I've known Chris and Steve
for many years,

103
At 00:06:22,200, Character said: and I can't wait to join them

104
At 00:06:24,680, Character said: and find out how they're getting on.

105
At 00:06:31,560, Character said: Here, we've g***t a live feed
to them actually digging

106
At 00:06:34,640, Character said: halfway up the cliff face.

107
At 00:06:36,440, Character said: What's happened so far,

108
At 00:06:38,000, Character said: the tip of the snout has already
come out and been recovered,

109
At 00:06:41,960, Character said: so the rest of it
is going into the cliff.

110
At 00:06:45,080, Character said: What exactly are they doing there?

111
At 00:06:47,440, Character said: At the moment, they're using tinfoil

112
At 00:06:50,120, Character said: to try and protect
the exposed piece of jaw.

113
At 00:06:53,480, Character said: In case something falls on it
and breaks it?

114
At 00:06:55,320, Character said: Yeah. Yeah, yeah.

115
At 00:06:56,920, Character said: And then they're also using
superglue to consolidate

116
At 00:07:00,480, Character said: the crumbly teeth and parts

117
At 00:07:03,280, Character said: that have been weathered
over millennia.

118
At 00:07:05,640, Character said: And they're hanging by ropes there?

119
At 00:07:07,400, Character said: Yes, pretty much
in the centre of the cliff.

120
At 00:07:09,600, Character said: Dear me!
Pretty dangerous stuff, this.

121
At 00:07:11,920, Character said: Yeah, yeah, it really is.

122
At 00:07:14,080, Character said: After you've worked there
for a few hours,

123
At 00:07:16,200, Character said: it becomes a bit more natural.

124
At 00:07:17,840, Character said: And you concentrate
on the actual digging.

125
At 00:07:19,680, Character said: You must be pretty sure
that there's something there

126
At 00:07:23,160, Character said: to put this amount of effort
into it, really.

127
At 00:07:25,160, Character said: Oh, positive
there's something there.

128
At 00:07:27,200, Character said: It's beautiful.

129
At 00:07:28,440, Character said: It's a beautiful specimen.
