* CommonKnowledge: The series is often cited as being a spin-off of the "Franchise/WalkingWith" series as it stars Nigel Marven and reuses some of the rigs and models. Despite that, the show was distributed by ITV and not the BBC and none of the models are consistent with the models from the "Walking With" installments aside from the mammoth (which was recycled from "Series/WalkingWithBeasts").

** Granted in the age before refrigeration especially, it's highly improbable the hunters could eat ''multiple tons'' of mammoth meat before it rotted. One could make the argument trying to target two at once was surplus killing.

* ProtagonistCenteredMorality: Downplayed in "A Mammoth Undertaking". Nigel rescuing Martha the mammoth from prehistoric hunters basically means he deprived a prehistoric family of ''humans'' from their food, but Martha was first found mourning a dead mammoth that was presumably her sister. [[WhatHappenedToTheMouse The dead mammoth isn't bought up again]], but since it was likely the same hunters that set up the trap that killed it, they would've still had all the meat provided by ''one'' dead mammoth to make use of - just not ''two''.

** A large dinosaur causes a breakout of smaller, but highly dangerous carnivores and other prehistoric inhabitants of a functioning park; leading to the protagonist using the largest predator in the park to help fend it off. The last third of the final episode is almost like a G-Rated version of ''Film/JurassicWorld''.

* The ''Deinosuchus'' does not blend with the live action at all. This is especially jarring when it lunges at the much better animated Matilda in the final episode.

I've only seen a few good wrighters for the series fanfics, but most of them started their stories a few years back and ARE STILL WRITING THEM. Does that makes this series count as a cult classic
