|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | "Land of the Sabre-tooth" | Mark Flowers | 19 May 2013 |
| The Ice Age odyssey begins in the 'land of the sabre-tooth' in North America, a continent that was covered by ice up to two miles thick in some parts. Yet this frozen land boasted the most impressive cast of Ice Age giants in the world. | |||
| 2 | "Land of the Cave-Bear" | Tim Walker | 26 May 2013 |
| The Land of the Cave bear ventures into the areas of the world affected the most by the Ice age - Europe and Siberia. In the mountains of Transylvania, Professor Alice Roberts and her team investigate a cave sealed for thousands of years which shows evidence of a fight to the death between two ice age giants, a cave bear and a cave lion. Animals that would have dwarfed their modern day relatives. | |||
| 3 | "Last of the Giants" | Mark Flowers | 2 June 2013 |
| Despite thousands of years of ice covering the northern hemisphere, many of the great giants of the ice age still walked the earth. Episode three looks at what could have caused mammoths, woolly rhinoceros, sabre-toothed cats, giant ground sloths and glyptodons to finally go extinct. | |||
