History Series / TheTruthAboutKillerDinosaurs

** Protoceratops tail is shown to be small and completely flat when it should have a long, tall tail.

* AnachronismStew: Like Series/ChasedByDinosaurs, ''Tarbosaurus'' is erroneously shown coexisting with ''Velociraptor'' and ''Protoceratops'', even though it showed up several million years later. There are indeterminate tyrannosaurid fossils known from the Djadochta Formation (where ''Velociraptor'' comes from) but they are very fragmentary.

* ArtisticLicenseBiology: Bill Oddie states that they needed to test a wild alligator's bite to figure out the T.Rex's bite force, as he claims alligators in captivity don't have as much bite force. [[https://youtu.be/QkS0rj34GsU However, ''Horizon'' an earlier BBC documentary]], had done the same test on a younger captive alligator, which had a similarly strong bite force.

* KingOfTheDinosaurs: ''Tyrannosaurus rex'' is the star of the first episode.

The program was, in concept and execution, similar to Creator/DiscoveryChannel's ''Series/AnimalFaceOff'' [[note]]it was even named Dinosaur Face-Off when it premiered in the US[[/note]] and Creator/TheHistoryChannel's later ''Series/JurassicFightClub'', but [[EverythingsBetterWithDinosaurs with more dinosaurs]] than the former and more humor.

** The ''T. Rex'' head model that Kent Stevens studies has its ear in the wrong spot: the temporal opening.
** The "''Triceratops'' crash test". The scientists drive a replica of a ''Triceratops'' skull into a porous aluminum wall (representing ''T. Rex''), and when the skull breaks to pieces, they conclude that the animal was just as vulnerable. Two things wrong with the experiment: both of the participants. A real-life ''Triceratops'' head would naturally have all sorts of strengthening tissue supporting the skull, and ''T. Rex''... clearly wasn't a large, square-shaped metal surface.

* HerbivoresAreFriendly: Averted, the ''Triceratops'' is presented as [[TemperCeratops as highly aggressive]] and even when it has put up enough of a fight for the T-Rex to retreat, it retaliates by goring its attacker when an opening presents itself, killing the T-Rex.

* KingOfTheDinosaurs: ''Tyrannosaurus Rex'' is the star of the first episode.

* TemperCeratops: The ''Triceratops'' in the first episode is most definitely '''not''' [[HerbivoresAreFriendly a peaceful herbivore]] and kills the T. Rex when its retreating.

** A vast majority of predators ''must'' attack prey in an ambush against a vulnerable target to stand a chance at bringing down their prey. Even a fully grown ''Tyrannosaurus'' is no match for a healthy, alert ''Triceratops'' in a head on fight.

Even a fully grown ''Tyrannosaurus'' is no match for a healthy, alert ''Triceratops'' in a head on fight. This documentary is also one of the first to state that Dromaeosaurs couldn't use their toe claws for slashing.

* The [[StockDinosaurs classic]] [[AnimalJingoism face-off]] between ''UsefulNotes/TyrannosaurusRex'' and ''[[StockDinosaurs Triceratops]]''.

* StockDinosaurs: ''T. rex'', ''Triceratops'' and its smaller cousin ''Protoceratops'', and ''Velociraptor''. Subverted with the ankylosaur, which while not identified is not the iconic ''Ankylosaurus''.

* SeldomSeenSpecies: ''Tarbosaurus'' appears in Episode 2 facing off with the ankylosaur, who also qualifies as it's based on an Asian genus like ''Pinacosaurus''.

''The Truth About Killer Dinosaurs'' (2005, also known as ''Dinosaur Face-Off'' in the US) is a two-part TVDocumentary from Creator/TheBBC. Presenter Bill Oddie and a bunch of scientists and mechanics use science to deduce who would win in a fight between the two main animal characters of each episode:

** Tarbosaurus and Velociraptor are shown to live at the same time when Tarbosaurus appeared after Velociraptor.
